Nicky
registered with East Ayrshire Councils Employability Team as unemployed in June
2020 after being made redundant in April 2020. Nicky was feeling so worried and
anxious about the future with no job. After discussing ideas and business plans
with her work coach, a training package was put in place to help Nicky achieve
her goal to become a Semi-Permanent Make-Up Artist. Nicky completed training in
Semi-Permanent Make-up and started her own business in October 2020. Nicky approached the service for further
support in May 2021 to gain more skills to allow her to develop her business
further, Nicky received 70% funding toward the cost of additional
training. Nicky is still employed and
her business is going from strength to strength.
Nicky says:
“I’m so glad
I sent an email to employability to enquire about any help towards funding for
training for my dream job to become a Semi-Permanent Makeup Artist. This
support changed my life and I finally felt a glimmer of hope. My life has
changed and I now have my business within Kilmarnock and I am now fully
qualified as a semi-permanent makeup artist all thanks to East Ayrshire
Council’s Employability Team.”
