Antonio and Andrea's success story

04 Mar 2026
x

After a year of unemployment, Antonio joined the Restart Scheme with experience in retail, warehousing and delivery driving, and an incredible determination to get back into work.

With support from Triage, he completed courses in IT and digital skills, lean management, and confidence‑building, while also receiving guidance from our skills, recruitment, funding and self‑employment teams.

Despite facing health challenges along the way, Antonio’s commitment never wavered, and earlier this year, he secured a new role as a delivery driver. 

"Antonio embraced Triage from his very first meeting. He utilised all aspects of support, from skills and recruitment to funding and self-employment. It was an absolute pleasure to support this gentleman," said Andrea Walker, Employment Adviser.

A huge well done to Antonio! Thanks to Andrea and Major in our employer services team.
