Skills development is not a single course or centre. It runs through adult education, literacy, further education and workplace programmes. The office can explain what is currently available and which route fits your situation.
What skills provision can include
- Literacy, numeracy and digital skills for the workplace.
- Communication, teamwork and customer service.
- Basic business and financial skills.
- Health and safety awareness.
- Learning planned with an employer or community group.
For employers
Where funding and capacity allow, a programme can be planned with an employer or community group. Contact the office with a short description of the need. Staff will explain what is possible, the cost and the time required.
For employees
If you want to improve a skill for your current role or prepare for a change, ask about adult learning options. You do not need to tell your employer that you are studying. Guidance can help you choose a course that fits your life.
Working with community groups
Community organisations can ask about learning for their members or volunteers. The Committee will consider the group's needs, the venue and the available funding.
Provision depends on funding and on the needs of the group. There is no general entitlement to a particular course, but every request is considered.
