Outreach - Community Connect Level 1 Full-time

Start where you are. Build where you are going.

Not ready for full-time College just yet? No problem. Community Connect is a full-time study programme designed around you - helping you build skills, boost confidence, and get ready for what’s next.

Why Community Connect?

Learn in Your Community

This programme takes place in local community venues - not big College buildings - so you can ease into learning in a relaxed, supportive environment that feels more like your space.

Build Your Skills

We will help you improve your Maths and English at the right level for you, and grow the confidence, communication and life skills you will need to take the next step in education or training.

Tailored to You

You will work with staff to set goals that actually matter to you—whether that is boosting your learning hours, improving focus, or getting ready to move into College life.

Your Path to College

This is not just about ticking boxes -it is about helping you build the behaviours, routines and mindset you need to feel ready for College and your future.
