When Benazir, aged 21, first connected with the headspace Work & Study Program, she felt alone in figuring out how to balance study, work, and progress towards her career goals.

That all changed in May 2025 when she connected with Rose, an Employment Specialist at headspace Edinburgh North.

Over the next three months, Rose helped Benazir achieve her goals by:
💚 Providing job interview training.
💚 Empowering her to advocate for herself and prioritise her career goals.
💚 Securing placement to progress her studies.
