“ Thanks in a big way to your help with rebranding my CV I was able to secure 2 interviews and got the job within a week. Not only do I start an hour and a half later each day, I am also home before I previously was. I have also quadrupled my salary; many, many thanks. ”
The Challenge
The Toll of Physical Labor
Peter Green was at a breaking point, balancing two physically demanding part-time cleaning roles. The grueling schedule was not only unsustainable but was actively impacting his health and wellbeing. He knew he had more to offer but lacked a clear path to transition out of manual labor and into a stable, professional environment.
Bridging the Eligibility Gap
Although Peter initially fell outside the standard program criteria, the Connect to Work team recognized his potential. He was paired with advisor Hanneke Redeker, who moved beyond the paperwork to focus on the person. Together, they embarked on a "career rebrand," identifying Peter’s transferable skills and aligning them with his long-term aspirations.
A Quadrupled Salary and New Stability
The intervention of the advisory team acted as a catalyst for a total life overhaul:
- Strategic Rebranding: By refreshing his CV to highlight his attention to detail and professional strengths, Peter moved from being overlooked to being in demand.
- Rapid Results: Within weeks of his CV refresh, Peter secured two interviews, leading to an immediate job offer.
- Lifestyle Transformation: As a Quality Assurance Inspector, Peter didn't just find a job - he found a career. He now starts his day later, finishes earlier, and has seen a 400% increase in his earnings.
Other Case Studies
“The Innovation Grant Mentoring Programme didn’t just help us write a stronger grant application, it changed how we tell KIGO’s story. That is the kind of support every early-stage founder needs and almost none can find.”

“The support was incredibly helpful. I was able to step back, really look at where the business was going, and understand the financial side more clearly. It also made me realise the true value of what I was delivering - something I hadn’t fully recognised before.”
