We provide ESOL classes to 16-18 and 19+ learners. In addition, we also offer enrichment and employability opportunities to help integrate learners into the community and provide motivation to progress in the future.
Covering the four main skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing, learners will gain nationally recognised qualifications in English language, with optional units on computing and maths skills. In addition, they will learn about UK culture and take part in events to celebrate their own. They’ll also take part in activities to develop job interview skills, and develop the confidence to live, study and work in the UK successfully.
We enrich the lives of our learners whilst they are studying with us by developing their skills, knowledge and behaviours. Enrichment is integral to the department and we offer the learners employability skills which are referred to in lessons, extra sessions, on display boards and through events. Volunteer opportunities are available for learners as are work experience opportunities and access to career advice meetings for each ESOL learner.
We work with a number of people who have found themselves homeless due to unfortunate circumstances including debt, domestic violence, substance misuse issues, asylum seekers and unaccompanied asylum seeking children. We also support those with no recourse to public funds. We also work with young people who have left care and support individuals in their own homes. Our mission is to change the way people think about homelessness and break the stigma. Our work isn’t just about getting people off the street but empowering them to live their best lives possible, we want to see all of our customers succeed and continue to flourish.
