Employability Fund

This programme aims to provide every eligible participant with an individual programme of guidance and support that will enable and encourage progression to sustained employment, employment with training (including Modern Apprenticeship), or further education.

English For Speakers of other Languages

Gaining an ESOL qualification demonstrates that you have good speaking, writing, listening and reading skills in English as a second or foreign language. Not only will it help improve your social interactions and everyday life – it’s also a great way to show employers your language skills and add to your CV.
PC Passport is a course that provides knowledge and skills in using contemporary application packages such as word processing, spreadsheets, and presentation software in a collaborative, cloud-based environment. It seeks to deliver up-to-date skills in using a range of popular software, such as Office 365, to prepare learners for employment or further studies or to improve their productivity skills.
