Stride2Work Renfrewshire – Cacie

Updated: 14/08/2024

Cacie was a young person who had completed stage 2 on the Employability Fund but had not yet found work.
Cacie initially wanted to go to college but was too late with her application so decided to look for part time work instead and reapply in January.

Cacie was interested in retail but had no previous experience so a placement was arranged for her with Barnardo’s retail in the Piazza in Paisley.
Cacie enjoyed this placement and was keen to do more hours and learn as much as she could. Alongside the placement she attended Barnardo’s every week to update her CV and carry out intensive job searching. After a few weeks Cacie was offered an interview with Primark in Braehead.

She received interview preparation from our employer liaison officer and was offered a part time contract after giving a successful and confident interview.

Cacie is doing well and enjoying her job but is still volunteering with Barnardo’s retail one afternoon a week as she wants to give something back!
