Our six-week courses are just two hours a week and are free for eligible learners. You will get individual help and support to make real progress in your skills, confidence, health and well-being.
Courses run from October 2024 and we will advertise them on our website and in your area.
Venues have been chosen to be easy for you to get to, delivered in the heart of your community.
Who Engage is for
Anyone over the age of 19 who is out of work or in casual work and claims benefits.
Courses are a first step to learning. So do not worry if you have not been in education, employment or training for a number of years. Perhaps you have been busy with home life. We understand how daunting returning to this environment can be. Our tutors are welcoming and friendly and you will get individual advice and support every step of the way.
You will also get advice about the next steps you would like to take. This could be seeking work, being a volunteer or further learning and other well-being opportunities.
As the weeks progress, you will feel more positive and more confident. You will be ready to unlock your potential to move forward in life.
