Neighbourhood Learning in Deprived Communities

Some of our courses this year are being funded by the Learning and Skills Council.

These courses are specifically aimed at people aged 19 and over, who are unemployed, in low skilled/low paid jobs, particularly lone parents, disabled and anyone deemed to be disadvantaged in being able to gain paid employment. (You must be eligible to work in this country and resident for 3 years in the UK)

Volunteers within the Voluntary and Community Sector are also eligible.

Priority must be given to these groups for this training.

These courses are FREE if you fall into a priority group.  

Anyone else interested in the course can be put on a reserve list.

(Please note you may be asked to provide proof of unemployment eg JSA documentation)

Other Information

Regretably we cannot afford to provide lunches for delegates so please remember to bring a packed lunch.
