SDM TRAINING SERVICES

 Thank you for all your help with this client, as you have helped him on his way to obtaining gainful employment and given him that confidence to move on! Keep doing what you are doing Stuart…. making such a difference to peoples’ lives.

 It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Stuart who has supported the Team at Enrych to develop a bespoke employability programme for adults with disabilities. He has a great understanding of the challenges some people can face when looking for work and is incredibly knowledgeable about the different approaches we can use to help overcome these. Although new to the world of employability, with Stuart’s support the Team at Enrych has quickly become confident and enthused by his passion for developing individuals to achieve the best they can in the world of work. Although we are in the early stages of delivering the programme, we’ve already seen the difference it can make and had some successes with participants achieving jobs. We are looking forward to continuing our work with Stuart to keep enhancing what we do and help more people achieve their work-related goals.

 I was sign posted to SDM training services and I’m so pleased I was. I was supported by Stuart Miller. Within a few minutes he found time to speak to me and over several sessions provided support focussing on many subjects but in particular job interviews. The support, information and knowledge that I gained was a game changer, especially considering I am a service leaver after 24 years and had never had any form of job interview before. I was put at ease through the techniques I was shown and the effort from Stuart was exceptional. I received several follow up messages and calls, even after receiving a job offer for a job I really wanted. I felt listened to, supported and empowered from the start. Even within the first minute of my first session it was like talking to an old friend who just wanted to help me succeed. It was a pleasure and I feel very lucky that there are people out there to support people like myself and actually enjoy doing so. Thanks. Its was a pleasure and I appreciate all the support provided.

 Stuart is very helpful and helped me every step of the way advice on applications, interviews, the handouts were extremely helpful and the guidance was priceless! If you need help to get back to work or guidance on how to transfer your skills, I highly recommend Stuart.

 I had some sessions with Stuart around tailoring CVs and cover letters to specific jobs as well as identifying my transferable skills. Everything was very well explained and he sent me handouts that I could refer back to when applying for roles which was very helpful. Within just a few weeks I’ve been offered full time employment in a role that really interests me. I would not hesitate to recommend SDM for anyone looking for a bit of help getting back into work or transitioning to another role/industry. Thank you Stuart!

 Stu was one of those guys that nurtured you and your abilities. In the darkest of my life he helped pull together and went above and beyond his job to help not just me but my family to be better at what we already had, yet could not see. I will always be eternally grateful and appreciative for what Stu has done. You won’t regret having this man help you, whichever area that may be in. Thank you Stu, you don’t know the special gift you have.

 Thank you for inviting me to this AfghanOppO employability workshop, the workshop was very useful and I applied the techniques you taught which got me my desired job which is a stepping stone for me as an Afghan who just arrived in the UK on the start of Oct 2021. I have learned a lot in the interview techniques, especially developing self-confidence and selling yourself with a relaxed mind, position, appearance, and presentation of your CV. I appreciate how you describe the most challenging issue in a very simple and unique way. You were instrumental in helping me begin a new chapter of my life, I could find the work to express my gratitude for helping me connect the dots and getting me to the right stage of mindset and confidence I will never ever forget what you have done for me.

 JobOppO contacted Stu from SDM Training Services to request support with designing content for our Veterans Employability Skills Development Series. We were aware of Stu's experience and shared passion for supporting veterans into meaningful employment and were delighted with his hugely worthwhile input into the design and development of this innovative and useful package. Thanks Stu and we look forward to continuing to work with you.

 During my transition from the military, I met Stu from SDM Training Services, who was and still is very supportive and encouraging. Stu always made time to offer guidance and advice on my CV, Mock Interviews and reviewing my Interview feedback. SDM Training Services is versatile, can offer support and guidance in whichever area that you may require. I am forever grateful for all your continuous support and advice.

 After my work accident, I could not find a job for a long time. I found a job in a short time with the great support of SDM Training Services. They gave very effective and solution-oriented training, especially for searching and finding a job suitable for my current situation. I would like to thank Mr. Stuart Miller, an expert in this field, for all the support, motivation and positive approach he provided. I am grateful to SDM Training Services for staying in touch with me throughout my job search process, sharing with me CV preparation, job search and interview techniques, and all the support from them provided.

 I have now closed her case from my perspective and would like to thank you for your support – I’m not sure she would have secured this employment without your support and she is also grateful. She advised that her CV now looks “great” thanks to your support.

 Thank you and thanks for your help and support through this process, I'm really pleased and put a lot of hard work into it, but without the support from people like yourself and Dom I'm not sure how it would have gone.
