Once a student at the Community Centre, Sauleha now works as an Executive for Reality Gives.

“I was a student for about five months before getting the job,” explains Sauleha, “but really I’m still learning while I’m working here and that’s my favourite thing about this role.” Sauleha initially attended classes at the Community Centre to improve her English grammar. “I have always wanted to be able to communicate with people around the world,” says Sauleha, “that’s why improving my English was so important to me. Now I work with people from other countries every day and I’m confident to practice my English in a professional environment – I feel very comfortable and safe working here at the Community Centre.”

Part of Sauleha’s role with Reality Gives is to take admissions for the Community Centre courses, which remain oversubscribed. “These courses are so important to the people who attend. They gave me a huge amount of confidence to enter the world of work so I like seeing other students coming into the Community Centre and having this opportunity too.” “My family is very proud of me for working here. I’d like to continue to learn and maybe even become a teacher one day. This job is a huge opportunity for me and I want to make the most of it.”
