I loved that there was free courses I could tackle in my own time and gain certifications.

Meet Alex
Alex is a British Army veteran who also worked directly with the UK Ministry of Defence.

Alex's journey
Alex worked in several industries after leaving the UK Ministry of Defence. Prior to connecting with WithYouWithMe, Alex had been working in the Steel industry, then as a Personal Trainer, as well as an Uber Eats and Just Eat delivery driver to make ends meet.
While looking for more stable work, Alex was interacting with the UK veteran community. Eventually, he was introduced to WithYouWithMe. Alex appreciated that WYWM were offering free courses that he could complete in his own time and earn industry-recognised certifications.
Alex was on his way to finding meaningful work after receiving support and encouragement from the UK Veteran community.
Free training, then certified.

Alex is currently working as a Pega Business Architect for Accenture UK.
