Eamon Donegan was unemployed for 5 years before seeking assistance from USEL to help him find work. Eamon had re-entered education and gained qualifications in the ICT field. Deborah Truesdale, one of USEL’s Job Broking team, said, "Eamon’s determination, energy and sense of humour assisted her to find the right job match for him". He is now working as an ICT tutor for a local trade union organisation. Eamon said, "The service provided by USEL was great. I am now in a job that I love and I’ve made great friends with the USEL team and wish them every success in the work that they do".
