"I joined and now I have a job!"

Green Action Tourism Programme volunteer Paulina Piotrowska recently moved to Scotland from Poland. ‘Lina’ trained to be a teacher back home and since moving to Grangemouth, volunteered to help at a local school.

As a Paragon tenant, she received a leaflet about the Green Action project and quickly signed up for the Tourism Programme.

Based at The Falkirk Wheel Lina has earned invaluable experience of customer service, working on reception, taking boat trip bookings and serving in the gift shop.

'Lina' so impressed her bosses at The Wheel they offered her a seasonal position.

She has since been leading educational workshops for school parties and translating for Polish tourists.

Paulina says, "I have learned so much and every day is different. I now have a job I really enjoy. I have been able to buy a car and next week I take my driving test!

Green Action has been made a big difference in my life. I am very happy and grateful.”

Free training and work experience training to help you get into work.

We can't guarantee you a job at the end of your Green Action Training Programme but five young people who did the course moved into employemet. Three others secured places on training courses.

We will teach you real practical skills, help build your confidence, help create your CV, assist you with interview techniques and help you to apply for jobs.

All you have to do is come along one day per week for 12 weeks. You will get training and support throughout. There will also be an opportunity to try out canoeing, kayaking, moutain biking, etc., at the Action Outdoors Centre in Falkirk.

Both programmes are open to males and females.
