Supported Learning Programmes
Everyone has a right to learn.
Supported Learning programmes are taught in a safe and inclusive environment. They equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary for greater independence, enhanced community participation, and successful entry into employment.
Learners can enjoy the flexibility to focus on their interests and goals as we remove barriers to learning. Each of the training schemes are held one day a week from 9 am to 3 pm.
Supported Learning programmes aims:
- To improve independence and decision making
- To increase adaptability to changing employment and residential situations
- To develop realistic perceptions of skills, interests and abilities on which to base future goals
- To improve literacy, numeracy and communication that can be used in a variety of work and community situations
- To increase awareness of realistic work options and ways to access support in new work situations
- To participate successfully in a variety of work, social and community settings
Supported Learning programmes are inclusive and based on the philosophy that everyone has the right to learn and reach their potential by progressing their knowledge, skills, and abilities.
All training schemes run subject to approval and subject to sufficient enrolments.
If you are interested in enrolling, please contact our friendly tutors.
