Faiz had practical experience but lacked confidence in applying for work. He was concerned that employers would only focus on his past rather than his ability to contribute.

Through employment-readiness support, he learned how to present his skills more clearly, prepare for interviews and understand workplace expectations. He also received guidance on how to approach employment opportunities realistically.
