Fedcap Employment Arvostelua 81

Abusive advisor who argued and disrespected me on two occasions.
This person should not work at this organisation if they can't handle the job themselves.A form of abuse

Unfortunately, I think it's an accepted form of abuse and a violation of a person's privacy by unprofessional and barely qualified advisors.

Totally no sense of keeping private information private on 2 occasions my sensitive private history broadcast thru the workspace. On one occasion they didn't realise i was still in the building while I was listening. The lady next to me said wow that guy sould have been on Jeremy Kyle. Enough said it's like a glee camp but at least gives young people with made up qualifications and no life skills a chance of a job

10 out of 5 stars experience with Michael. Great guy, very friendly and easy to be open and honest with.
Supported me from the very beginning and made me feel comfortable. Explained everything in an easy to understand manner and tailored his support to my needs and circumstances. Genuinely cannot fault him as a person and as a professional. Clearly passionate about his job and supporting people. If I was to ever need Fedcap support again I would always request for Michael after my experience with him. I did have to deal with a couple other support workers but he was always made me feel I was speaking to a friend who genuinely cared about my wellbeing rather than just another customer.

A complete waste of time. It's really just another organization that creates additional stress. The webinars are completely useless. The coach only reviews your progress reports. Overall, avoid this program; it's a waste of time.

Amazing staff super friendly and very supportive of people who need work they can help financially two members coral and romina very friendly in helping others to get into work

Michael from the Reading Office has been so helpful with helping me find a job. He's made sure I had the correct expenses for anything that I would have needed (travel, uniform, app for cscs card). Without Michael's help I wouldn't have found this job, thank you Michael.

Luke, the advisor who in Reading was both very knowledgeable and really supportive.
With his help, I found my current role pretty quickly.

Micheal is my coach and helped and supported me finding a job, he was there instantly when I feed support and guidance, Micheal helped motivate me, and helped boost my confidence looking for work, is really understanding and professional also very relaxed and helped make looking for work not as stressful as it could have been if didn't have him as my coach. Very greatful , and would recommend Micheal as a coach to anyone.

I currently have a fantastic advisor (CHARLIE MCNIEL) and really appreciate the help and support I have received at the company generally. I would recommend Fed cap to everybody.

Worked with Romina Brandi from Reading Office. She was professional, respectful and very supportive. I enjoyed working with her whilst looking for my next role.

My advisor, Leigh Abbott, has been brilliant. Having been unemployed for several months, her support and advice directly resulted in me securing full-time work. I would recommend Fedcap to anyone who is struggling to find work.

Michael from the Reading branch was very helpful and very enjoyable to work with. Managed to get me employed quickly, and with little fuss.

My advisor Charlie McNeill are Reading Fedcap is really good
The appointments are productive and have a really helpful and supportive feel

The staff here are amazing and create a really caring and friendly atmosphere. I have really enjoyed my time with charlie and feel I am moving forward and cared for

Charlie McNeill has been a great support in my transition to self employment. He is always helpful and offers lots of good advice. Our appointments are always positive and he makes me feel at ease as we go through the process. 10/10 for Charlie!

I have been with Fedcap for the work in health program and the restart scheme too. I found my first work coach Monique Andalcio extremely helpful, going out of her way, to help me find jobs, emailing me with potential jobs, help with applying, giving me lots of encouragement and working on my confidence and motivation. On the restart program my job work coach Jessica Tang was very helpful with applying for Access to work, she sat me for over an hour making sure I was comfortable with filling in the form. She is currently helping me with the benefit calculator to organise my finances. All Fedcap staff are very friendly and always at hand to help. Its a very comfortable and non stressful environment and focuses on finding your strengths and strengthening your weakness. They treat everyone respectfully. The courses they provide are excellent to improve your capability of looking for work, your confidence level. And managing your stress levels. I thoroughly recommend Fedcap as an addition to the job centre as Fedcap spend much longer with you and give you that extra much needed support.

Very helpful with getting me back into employment

Romina was great in helping me get into employment, also the interview and cv help was very useful.
Great service, also helped me with getting uniform for my new job.

Been with this company for going 8 months. The people I work with are caring and very helpful. It's such a great feeling when you achieve your goals, assisting our customer back into work. Great place to work.

When the Job Centre advised me to sign up with Fedcap Reading, I was doubtful of their ability to get me a job. I thought it was just more Job Centre.
I couldn't have been more wrong.
My advisor was Charlie McNeill, and he delivered services to me that I can never hope to repay.
Services that Charlie McNeill of Fedcap Reading delivered to me:
1- He helped me remake my CV and cover letter, increasing my visibility to employers by making sure the CV was relevant to the job advert
2- Advised me with Fedcap courses designed to improve my chances of getting employed, and improve my understanding of the job market
3- Paid for my travel to and from Fedcap (keep in mind the Job Centre doesn't do this, so always try to align your Fedcap appointments with theirs, to save on money and time)
4- Advised me to undertake an administration course (Level 2), as well as a sports course. They enhanced my CV, and showed that I wasn't wasting my time during employment gaps
5- Undertook sessions with me and other Fedcap customers to investigate leads on potential jobs
6- Assisted me with my mental health, by pointing me in the direction of Fedcap staff, who specialised in this field
7- Invited me to numerus job fairs, which resulted in me securing several intreviews
8- Paid for a whole new suit for my interviews (which I still wear from time to time!)
Overall, my experience with Fedcap Reading was that of growth and evolution, which will live with me forever.
When I left the job Fedcap helped me find, I utilised the skills gained from Fedcap, and quickly found my current job.
Before Fedcap, I was unemployed for three years. The time between leaving my first job and finding the second job was two and a half weeks. If this doesn't prove the effectiveness, strength, knowledge and relevancy of Fedcap's staff, I don't know what will.
