Anyone wanting to start the new year by learning something new can find out about the courses available to them at a pop-up event in Harrogate’s Victoria Shopping Centre today.
The event, organised by North Yorkshire Council (NYC), runs from 9.30am to 1.30pm, and breakfast is included.
NYC teachers are at the shopping centre to answer any questions that visitors may have about the learning opportunities available, and there’s a family learning teacher on hand to look after children while their parents discuss their options.
Jennifer Ferguson, marketing officer for Adult Learning North Yorkshire, told the Stray Ferret:
The council runs part-time adult education and training courses to help learners brush up on English skills or improve their numeracy through the government’s Multiply scheme, and there are also courses in IT, wellbeing, cookery and crafts.
A full course list can be found on the Adult Learning page of the NYC website.
Jennifer added:
Many of the courses are free of charge, but even for those courses that are not, 92% of NYC's learners receive full funding.
