ALISHA’S 
JOURNEY TO A 
NEW CAREER
Before joining the P2E programme, Alisha was focused on 
caring for her son while trying to find work that fit around her 
childcare. Although she had early years qualifications, returning 
to employment was challenging, and the lack of opportunities 
began to affect her confidence.
Through the P2E programme, Alisha received tailored support to 
rebuild her confidence, update her CV, and prepare for interviews.
A key part of her experience was visiting local employers, including 
Calisen, where she gained insight into different roles and working 
environments. These visits helped make career opportunities feel 
more real and achievable.
After initially engaging in life skills support at Bramber Court 
Mother and Baby Unit, Alisha began exploring new career paths 
beyond her previous work as a cleaner, with a focus on stability 
and progression.
With the support and encouragement of the programme, Alisha 
successfully secured a place on a female-only engineering 
apprenticeship with Calisen. This marks a significant step 
forward, helping her build a stable and positive future for 
herself and her son.
