Agneiszka Lysak is determined to make it to the top in her chosen profession and with the support of J21, is well on the way to achieving her ambition.
The 29-year-old is currently working as a Document Controller at Oldham’s flagship Integrated Care Centre, but is currently climbing up the ladder by training to become a Site Manager.
Having completed two Masters degrees at the University of Salford, Agneiszka was referred to J21 in June 2006 when working as an Assistant Manager at McDonalds to fund her studies.
She was quickly given a place on the Construction Skills Certificate Scheme which enabled her to work on all major construction sites.
Agneiszka has since been job-matched with construction company Carillion and has been given funding by J21 to study part-time for a HNC in construction at University Centre Oldham.
“I wanted to follow in my father’s footsteps and train as an engineer,” Agneiszka said.
“The construction industry for me is exciting, you never stop learning, discovering and experimenting. I enjoy being part of the creation process and seeing a project develop from inception to completion – you can be proud of yourself.
“The J21 team made my dream come true. J21 helped me get my job with Carillion as well as funding my course.”
