News - Acumen - Jobs for Local People

It’s funny how things turn out. Before I started my business I was a single dad struggling on benefits and turned to Acumen who gave me great advice and support on starting and running a business. 8 years on I have three profitable businesses and employ local people so keep up the great work and support you give to people because even if a fraction of people you help go on to succeed, it’s worth it.

I would like to thank the staff for everything they have done for me on the course and helping me in every way. I thought they were lovely and couldn't do enough for me and wish Acumen the best of luck in the future.

Thank you all very much for sending my on those courses which has led to me finding work but more so for giving me the confidence through the courses to getting a meaningful job and going forward with my life. A special great big thank you to my adviser.

Thanks for your time, help and understanding. The work you do is amazing and my whole life has turned around in a couple of month. Couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks again.

I think Acumen has helped me a lot because I have met new people and I now have the confidence to talk to new people. I have just got a job after 5 years of being unemployed.
If I had a problem they did their best to resolve it. So thank you Acumen

Thanks to all of you for the last six months. I have enjoyed the experience and it has to be said that I did get more interviews in that time and as you know a good part-time job which I hope to expand on.

I was referred to work programme and was at the lowest point of my life. I had low confidence, zero motivation, didn’t socialise and only communicated through social media. I made excuses to avoid courses but Joanne gave me the confidence to start. I completed my first course & loved it, made new friends, found confidence and motivation. I have completed 5 courses with Acumen and thanks to these and the help and support I’ve received I have now gone into work for the first time in 20 year.

During busy recruitment drives I have asked for support from Acumen. I have found that the quality of the candidates has been of a high calibre and the support from the Employer Service Advisors has been of a very professional and high standard. I have every confidence that I will continue to make full use of Acumen in future recruitment drives
