It has been a joy to watch the transformation unfold over a short space of time
Based in North Down, Jasmin was shy when she came to NOW Group, and often did not like to share her thoughts during a year of online sessions.
Fast forward to 2021 and the situation has completely changed.
“While we have seen growth in many participants,” says Jasmin’s Skills Trainer, Emily Downey, “I have seen a continuous growth in Jasmin.”
What has been behind this growth?
Since joining NOW, Jasmin has engaged in a variety of different training courses, including the catering-based Loaf Academy and the more interpersonal Independence Skills at the beginning of lockdown. She has also spent some time further developing these qualifications by volunteering at Loaf Pottery in Crawfordburn.
During the months of lockdown, Jasmin completed a run of further three courses – the Progression to Employment Academy, Managing Personal Finances, and Hospitality Academy. It was here that Emily identifies as the turning point where Jasmin’s “confidence has soared.”
Now, not only does Jasmin contribute well during class, but she also creates valuable learning opportunities for other participants by sharing her own experiences. Emily has even noticed that Jasmin has become one of the first participants to volunteer for role-playing scenarios or to provide answers during class discussions and activities.
“Most importantly,” notes Emily, “Jasmin is not afraid to take chances. She is adaptable and eager to learn and improve her skills.”
Quite the turnaround from our once bashful County Down native. With this blossoming confidence, we hope that Jasmin will soon be in a position to secure paid employment with a future.

Maybe that's why I'm lonely.
Hi. I am very close to the desire of people to study science persistently, and of course, in my opinion, success in personal life plays an important role here, so to speak, the presence of an ideal partner nearby who will always be ready to support in difficult times with word and love. I really liked the excellent information about mindful dating and this solution will help you find true love for everyone.
Unfortunately, I lack confidence in myself. Maybe that's why I'm lonely.
Hello! I think it's very important for any girl to have stylish hair and clothes because it has a big effect on a self-nursed puppy! I love medium length haircuts http://glaminati.com/medium-length-hairstyles-long-thick-hair/ ! These are very stylish hairstyles! I'm sure you'll find something interesting for you.
