At the end of September, on the last sun-soaked day of the year, students from our Finding Your Way course had a well-deserved graduation picnic in Preston Park.
Finding Your Way was a short course delivered by TDC and funded by ESF ( the European Social Fund). The nine week course for unemployed adults with English as an additional language provided a framework to guide the students towards employment, volunteering or further learning.
We were delighted to see our dedicated students at the picnic and present each of them with a certificate for completing the course. In many cases it was our first opportunity to meet up face to face so the excited atmosphere matched the glorious weather.
We were amazed at the passion and motivation of the students. Two thirds of them went on to further training such as ESOL courses, accounting and social media use for small businesses. Brilliantly three went on to become employed at the end of the course.
We are so proud of these women and it was a pleasure to be with them and support them on their journey into employment.
