EmployAbility gave me the confidence and support I need to land my dream internship.
Suffering from PTSD and anxiety after a car accident, I often found the application processes overwhelming, particularly the assessments. Through EmployAbility, I was supported with how to prepare for them, as well offering adjustments where suitable.
