Sometimes it is extra important to receive “a hand that can help in the most difficult moment in your life”. I was looking for somebody who could inspire, motivate, teach me, and give an opportunity for self-development.
 
Thanks to the Job Starter course, I got rid of the "impostor syndrome", believed in myself, and started moving towards a dream of starting my own business.

One must admit it is a very bold idea to start a new profession and look for it abroad. However, I thought, if people make such decisions, what's stopping me from believing in myself?

 

During the program, I worked very hard on my resume and made sure that my LinkedIn will never be empty again. And then one day the phone rang and I got a job offer. You just have to believe in yourself and do your best.

Motivated by the need to support my children in the new country, I enrolled in the INCO Academy’s program and earned an IT Support career certificate. Completing the course let me secure my dream job directly related to the certification at one of the world's largest airline companies. To all future participants there I say “Don't be afraid to ask for help. Believe in yourself, you can do and learn everything."

To provide a stable future for my son, I considered reskilling and chose to pursue a career in IT. Joining a training program at INCO Academy gave me a supportive community of like-minded women. The need to adapt to my new reality also motivated me to learn the local language and improve my English. It is a big challenge, but with the encouragement of family and friends, you can complete any program. This significantly boosts confidence and unveils potential.
