Care Case Study - Claire Sansom, 24
	After a complicated upbringing, living between divorced parents, Claire ran away from home at 17. Now (after completing the New Deal programme for lone parents) she is a strong role model for her children - working in a brand new treatment centre at the Queens Medical Centre.

Hospitality Case Study - Amy England
	The last time we updated you on Amy, in January this year, she had completed her New Deal Hospitality course and was feeling confident and excited about her new job at the Hilton Hotel. Nine months on and she's been promoted to House Keeping Supervisor.

Hospitality Case Study - Danny Wright
After completing the New Deal Hospitality programme, Danny was offered a job as a bar tender at the Park Inn Nottingham. Just two weeks later he was promoted to Assistant Manager.

Childcare Case Study - Mandy Challis
	After bringing up her own children Mandy was aware that she had the skills needed to work in childcare, but was unqualified to do so. She opted for the Children First program, after which she was offered the opportunity to complete an NVQ Level 2 in Children’s Care, Learning and Development.

Care Case Study - John Hickman, 27
	When John’s father fell ill he became his full time carer and so school became a second priority, and he left with no qualifications. He was keen to develop the skills he learned whilst caring for his father and so was placed on the New Deal Care Course.

Care Case Study - Adrian Turner, 24
	Adrian left school with a few GCSEs at low grades and never felt satisfied in his job. He was unsure of what area he wanted work in so he took advantage of our advice service, then went on to improve on his qualifications to give him the best possible chance of finding a job he really enjoyed.

Care Case Study - Anna Marie Dixon
Despite being unemployed for a substantial period of time - and having two small children - with the help of career advisers and an introductory course Anna Marie Dixon got a job with Mencap, where she began her NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care.

Numeracy Case Study - Louise Grant
	Louise Grant, an employee at Care Training, had struggled with maths at school. She thought "it was something I’d never be able to do so I just had to deal with it", but she has now achieved a Level 2 Certificate in Adult Numeracy.

New Deal Case Study - Sam Mohamed, 28
	Sam found training quite hard as English is his second language, but with support like one-to-one tutorials he completed the New Deal course went on to complete an NVQ Level 2 in Children’s Care Learning and Development.

New Deal for Lone Parents Case Study - Michaela Clemenson, Care Home Manager
	Back in 2004 Michaela was unemployed and looking after her daughter as a lone parent. Three years later, after lots of hard work and a little help from Care Training, she is now the Manager of Mappleton House.
