Oh Doodle sorry for that news.
It’s an awfully worrying time for our children’s generation and the worst fear has become real for your DS. Please stress to him it’s his JOB that has become redundant, not HIM. He hasn’t failed, Covid has got in the way and skewed (and screwed) so many things.
I know you will be wonderfully supportive, and maybe you can look online at training, situations vacant, maybe alternative jobs to ones he has done - suggest as many positive facts as you can find and keep him buoyant and help guide him towards future employment. He will get work - but it may take a little time. I hope it’s sooner rather than later. Fingers crossed.
Here are some ? for you.
