Testimonial:
‘Dorset Council has given me a brilliant opportunity and has started off my career in Social Work, from the support at the beginning of the ASYE programme right down to the last day, my experience has been amazing. Support from the professionals has been great, no question was too silly, and the training has been relevant and up to date – which has helped me grow in confidence, experience, and expertise.
I was treated like a professional and asked for my contribution right from the beginning which made me feel valued as an ASYE Social Worker, I am very grateful to Dorset Council and would recommend them to any ASYEs (Assessed and Supported Year in Employment) (Assessed and Supported Year in Employment) that want to start of their career right’
