How does one go from retrenchment, depression, and thoughts of suicide to triumphantly returning to employment? Ben’s story illustrates this transformation.
After losing his 25-year construction job, Ben felt defeated and unemployable, lacking formal qualifications despite his proven experience. His despair reached a critical point, placing him on suicide watch.
A consultant, Ian, intervened with the MYSKILLSmanager SKILL Coding process. This system identified and quantified Ben’s extensive skills from years of hands-on work, reigniting his confidence and opening doors to new opportunities.
“David your system saves lives,” Ian shared—a testament to the power of recognising and valuing skills.
