I have been working for Jobforce Wales for just over 8 years. I have worked on the Smart Project for 7 years and i have been managing the project since January 2010. Before starting with Jobforce I worked in the catering and retail sector for 7 years after leaving school. I find my job a challenge and a pleasure and I thoroughly enjoy coming to work every day. The best part of my job is seeing the postitive chages in the young people and how far they have come by the end of the year.
