Education at Llamau - Community Learning

Last updated: 22/12/2023

What we do

The pre-vocational training part of Llamau is known as Education at Llamu. We think it is really important that you can follow a programme that suits your needs. We offer flexible sessions that are designed to help you improve your confidence and self-esteem. We focus on improving your employability skills so that you are confident enough to take the next step as well as the skills you need to live independently. This could include budgeting or understanding a tenancy.
Learners can join our 'Step into Wellbeing' to improve confidence and receive holistic support to progress. They can also access our Step into Education programme wherelearners can achieve Agored Cymru Essential Skills Wales qualifications in Application of Number, Communication and Digital Literacy from Entry Level 1 to Level 2. We offer a wide range of Agored Cymru Awards including Improving Own Confidence, Career Planning, Career Exploration, Mental Health and Wellbeing or Substance Misuse Awareness.

Who do we support

We mainly work with 16 to 24 year old young people who have found mainstream education a challenge. This could be due to issues at home that disrupted education, illness or offending behaviour. We also work with young people who have learning difficulties and disabilities. We have different funding at different times so it is always worth asking if we can work with a young person. We work in very small groups so can support people who need extra support to achieve their potential. In some local authorities we can work with adults up to 24 years old to support with employability skills development including job searching, applications and interview techniques.

Is there a charge to use this service?

Depends - Young people are not charged for the provision. We are funded by different organisations so that we can work with a variety of young people. Please contact us to find out about our current funding and eligibility.
