Elements have roll over and clickable content to add more detail or help navigate to further information. www.cornwall.gov.uk/adultlearning • Call 0300 1231 117 Welcome As I write we are hopeful that Adult Education will be offering close to our normal face-to-face programme as the world emerges from the pandemic. We will also be looking to hang onto some of the moves forward we have made since the lockdowns, so you will also see opportunities for online learning. We know that more and more people will need to change their position in the job market and develop skills and qualifications to do that. We are particularly keen to get people to think about English and maths qualifications because we know that getting one has the potential to change your life. 1000 people are doing this every year with Adult Education, and you could be one of them. It works well to do this alongside an ICT qualification - see page 9/10. Did you know that people who have a Level 2 maths qualification are far more likely to earn a higher salary than those who don’t? To get an introductory ‘Step-in’ please see page 11. If you think you can’t go to university, think again with our Access to Higher Education programme - see page 14/15. You could study Health and Social Care, more relevant now than ever, or go into our exciting new option of Music Technology. The pandemic has also shown us the importance of health and well-being, dealing with loneliness and looking after our mental health. We can offer you courses in arts, craft and media, languages, and a wide range of interest, health and fitness options. We hope to see you shortly and give you the learning you need.

We then updated his CV and supported him in looking for work.
