A New Start During Uncertain Times

During the UK lockdown, Connor Osborne found himself unsure of what the future held. With his previous workplace in limbo, he made a decisive move to change direction. That decision led him to ITOL Recruit, where he enrolled in the Project Management Job Programme — a step that set his career on a new course.

Strong Tutor Support From Day One

Connor’s journey was shaped by his tutor, Ryan, who provided quick responses, clear explanations and helpful revision resources. This support allowed Connor to approach his exams confidently and pass them without unnecessary stress.

Ryan’s guidance made a real difference, ensuring Connor understood the material and was fully prepared for every assessment.

Gaining Real-World Project Experience

Following his exams, Connor took part in a simulated project exercise designed to replicate real workplace challenges. This practical task gave him valuable hands-on experience and helped bridge the gap between theory and real-world application.

Recruitment Help That Delivered Results

Connor was then supported by Demi, a dedicated Recruitment Advisor who worked with him to:

  • Rewrite his CV
  • Draft compelling cover letters
  • Prepare for job interviews

With Demi’s guidance, Connor attended two interviews — and landed the second job he applied for. He secured a role as a Project Coordinator in London, a clear reflection of his effort and the strength of the recruitment support.

A Grateful Recommendation

Connor credits ITOL Recruit for helping him transition from uncertainty to a fulfilling new role. He recommends the programme to anyone considering a career shift, especially those needing structure and support during times of change.
