Facing Career Uncertainty

Nine months ago, Marta Garrod faced the threat of redundancy. Uncertain about her next step, she reassessed her career goals and explored ways to pivot into something more future-proof.

That’s when she discovered ITOL Recruit.

Enrolling with Confidence

Referred by an employment agency, Marta chose ITOL Recruit’s Project Management Job Programme. The promise of one-to-one tutoring and professional recruitment support gave her the confidence to invest in the course and her career.

Personalised Tutor Support

Studying from home can be isolating, but Marta found reassurance and structure through her tutor, Ryan. Available to answer questions and offer encouragement, Ryan became a trusted mentor — even a friend — as she worked through her training.

His support helped her not only grasp the material but stay motivated during a challenging time.

Certified and Career-Ready

Marta successfully completed certifications in:

• PRINCE2
• AgilePM
• Change Management

This achievement reflected her dedication and the quality of guidance she received throughout.

Recruitment Help That Made the Difference

After earning her certifications, Marta transitioned into the recruitment phase, where she worked with Jess — whom she called her “personal cheerleader.” Jess supported her with:

• CV writing and optimisation
• Interview preparation
• Job search strategy

This hands-on support helped Marta present herself confidently and professionally to employers.

Landing a Role as Project Coordinator

Thanks to the programme and her persistence, Marta secured a role as a Project Coordinator within an IT company. It marked a full-circle moment — from facing redundancy to thriving in a new and stable career.

A Story of Resilience and Growth

Marta’s journey is a testament to how structured learning, personal support and determination can lead to genuine transformation. She moved from uncertainty to success, and now stands as an example of what’s possible for others looking to pivot into project management.
