Adults & Young People
Work Skills Learning finds and nurtures each child’s unique spark.
Work Skills Learning works closely with local authority SEND departments, who make referrals to us, and with parents and carers. We offer individual, personalised courses specially tailored for children and young people who have a range of special educational needs. We create a structured programme to follow students’ personal strengths, and interests, while encouraging our learners to expand their horizons and encounter positive challenges. Work Skills Learning supports children and young people to become independent learners and thinkers to ensure that they attain the highest qualifications possible.
