"The Bracknell Forest Hub has been very helpful thus far and I love the patience and attention to detail in trying to support me on this journey. I wish I had discovered the Hub earlier as I think I would have been further on my journey. The level of detail going into preparing a career plan was impressive and then further curating some options to aid my career path was very much appreciated.”
