Will had the degree and needed a skill which would give him the edge over other candidates

Here's what Will had to say: -

"When I graduated from the University of Essex in the summer of 2010, I left the world of higher education behind with no real idea of where or how to proceed. I knew I wanted and needed a job, but with a somewhat threadbare CV and in the middle of an economic downturn, I also knew it wasn’t going to be easy. My mum encouraged me to try and expand my skills to help my prospects, which is how I found the advert for Pitman Training in the local Observer newspaper.

From the moment I arrived, the team were very friendly and informative. After an initial chat in which I explained what I was seeking to achieve, they explained the whole array of courses and subjects that were available to me, as well as helping me understand what I should be aiming for with my search for work. We decided that a ‘Microsoft Office Plus’ Diploma was the best course that I should undertake, as it offered me a whole new range of skills that would be incredibly useful and vital for any office-based work. In addition, they also offered me a touch-typing course as a bonus, which was certainly a useful addition!"
