I was made redundant from a call centre after 11 years. I thought I was too old to start over, and that data jobs were for graduates. Five months later I'm a Power BI analyst at a Cardiff insurance firm. Reskill Wales didn't just teach me Power BI. They convinced me I had it in me.
Made redundant in Wales. Now building new careers.
