YMCA DLG is launching a range of Study Programmes that offer learners aged 16-18 (or 19+ with a statement or EHP) genuine sector specific skills and training, with embedded functional skills, and work experience. This is a great opportunity and stepping stone towards further education, apprenticeships or employment.
Working in partnership with Y Training YMCA DLG will deliver courses in Brighton & Hove, Hastings, Horsham and Guildford (TBC). Our skilled and dedicated tutors will ensure all learners receive top quality training and support, and our Learning and Education team will be on hand to help them decide and take that next step.
