The results of the partnership between Jobcentre Plus and Release Potential mean that our customers who have been successfully employed as an apprentice are no longer claiming benefit. Instead they are receiving training whilst in employment that will hopefully launch the start of a long-lasting and rewarding career

I can’t believe the impact this course has had not only on our customers but my colleagues, when I first read the Fuller working lives appraisal report, I knew I had to get this event in Suffolk and when I turned up for the filming with the candidates I had a genuine lump in my throat and knew that my hunch that this opportunity would have a massive impact on individuals, proved the right thing to do for us in DWP and the right thing to do for the Ipswich community. I can’t thank you enough and look forward to the final delivery of the film tomorrow and also to work with you in my West Suffolk patch and throughout East Anglia.

I know the EA and work coach teams in Ipswich have been completely inspired by this project and I personally cannot thank them enough for making this exercise successful.

What an amazing , inspiring course. Not just your normal pre-employment course, it’s more than that. Release Potential focus on team building and fun classroom activities combined with passion and enthusiasm. I would recommend this course to everybody, it has really opened my eyes for what it can do for all their learners. To have 100% excellent feedback and people going into work just after 4 weeks, people who were the furthest away from the labour market, seeing their potential on the course is amazing and it’s all down to their commitment and hard work. If it wasn’t for this course these people would of not gone into work as quickly as they did. I cannot wait until the next one …

I visited a recent course I noticed the comradery, positivity and confidence levels of those attending was very high. There was a real buzz in the room – and that was only on day two! The final presentations the participants deliver are a testament to their hard work and determination to succeed in gaining employment and we have many examples of people securing employment after completing a Returneeship course.

We have worked for many years with Release Potential and found them a consistently good training and apprenticeship provider. In a world with so many training provisions on offer it’s reassuring to work with someone you can trust and who will look after your interests as much as their own.
