EPNE training - Community
Our Community Work: Empowering Through Education
We deliver a wide range of community training programmes designed to meet the unique needs of local areas. Working in partnership with organisations, trusts, and charities, we provide access to fully-funded, nationally recognised accredited training.
Our offering includes flexible one-day workshops, designed with partners to support economically inactive individuals (those not currently seeking employment).
These sessions are delivered at no cost, thanks to government funding, making them an accessible route to boost skills and confidence.
