Highlights Student
Journeys... Ellie was very shy when she came to
Foundation Studies in 2013. As well as
her learning journey through
Independent Living, Introduction to
Volunteering and the Supported
Internship, Ellie gained the confidence
to believe in herself and her abilities.
Ellie successfully went on to complete
the Supported Internship and shortly
afterwards, she gained employment
at a restaurant.

even if it gets you down, get back up and
keep trying no matter what it takes.
Think positive, and you will get there."
