SAHOTA’S STORY
P E T-X i C A S E S T U DY Sahota Sagar, from Coventry, had a temporary job in warehousing before becoming unemployed in May 2021. He was then referred to PET-Xi by the National Careers Service to both support him to upskill and find further work.
Support provided by PET-Xi Sahota took part in PET-Xi’s Level 2 Customer Service and Team Leading courses where he was able to gain an understanding about managing customer relationships and responding to complaints, as well as leadership responsibilities and how to manage a team. He also received one-to-one support from Harry Craker, a Recruitment and Progressions Co-ordinator at PET-Xi. Harry said: “Sahota did excellently on both of the courses he took part in. He engaged really well and clearly listened to the kinds of roles he could apply his new skills to. “When Sahota originally contacted us he wasn’t sure what industry he wanted to work in, so we also provided him with some one-toone support to explore suitable career paths he could think about. “I also supplied him with a list of local employers who had v acancies that he may be interested in applying for.”
Outcomes Sahota has now successfully secured a position with DHL Coventry.
“PET-Xi has been amazing to work with and I’m very grateful for the support I have received from the team. “The teachers are all very confident and helpful and were able to adapt to meet the needs of each individual learner. “Being able to complete two courses was fantastic as it helped me develop my knowledge even further, and the additional career support was excellent. “I’m very pleased to have secured employment as a packer with DHL and I’m already enjoying my new role.” Sahota Sagar Together we work as one The courses Sahota took part in were funded by the West Midlands Combined Authority.
