From Career Break to Project Expert: Emma’s Route Back into the Workforce

In this Success Story
Starting Over with Purpose
After a career break, Emma Jardine returned to the workforce through temporary roles in customer service. While grateful for the opportunity, she quickly realised the work did not align with her interests — and she was ready for a change.
Her search for something new led her to ITOL Recruit’s Project Management Job Programme.
Choosing Project Management with a Guarantee
What stood out to Emma was the structure of the course and the job guarantee — offering placement within six months or a refund. This gave her the confidence that the programme was focused on real outcomes, not just theory.
She enrolled and began working through a comprehensive curriculum that included:
- PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner
- AgilePM Foundation
- Change Management Foundation
Support That Led to Success
Emma passed all her exams on the first attempt and received a distinction in the virtual project management assignment. She credits this success to her tutor, Gregory, whose support helped her feel confident and well-prepared.
Even as her recruitment advisor changed during the process, Emma continued to receive excellent support — particularly from Greg, who took the time to understand her goals and preferences.
