Vikings are on course to help learners

-

PEOPLE in Halton have the opportunit­y to enhance their employabil­ity skills and build a more exciting future with Widnes Vikings.

The club is currently welcoming applicatio­ns to the Vikings Learning Centre.

Delivered in partnershi­p with Riverside College, the programme supports people who are out of work, education or training to develop a job-ready future.

The education provider was highly commended at the 2017 Festival Of Learning and has a 100% pass rate across all courses.

The Vikings Learning Centre supports people who have experience­d challenges in finding or sustaining work and education.

With small class sizes and specialist tutoring focussed on learners’ individual needs, it offers a uniquely supportive approach.

The centre is currently offering a number of free courses including an NCFE Level 1 Certificat­e In Sport and Employabil­ity course, specially designed for people aged 16 to 18, as well as a NCFE Level 1 or 2 Certificat­e in Employabil­ity Skills course for young adults aged 19 and over.

For people who are not able to commit to full-time education, it also offers a number of short courses.

By studying in the Halton Stadium, students enjoy a unique environmen­t to build their skills and enjoy new experience­s – from developing sports and coaching skills on the i-Pitch, through to work experience with the Club.

These courses do not require any knowledge of or interest in rugby league.
