Sue first came into the centre in March 2006, and has been a regular attendee ever since. She has recently moved into the area from West Sussex. Sue used to work at an animal rescue centre, but the centre closed after the death of the owner, leaving her out of work. After some months of trying to fine work in the south east, she eventually moved north, along with her two pet dogs. Sue was signposted to the centre by the local JobCentrePlus. Her initial aim was to seek some IT skills, with a view to helping her gain employment in the area. She enrolled, initially, on the IT for Life – Using Your Computer course to give her a basic understanding of how computers work. This was followed by the Word Processing and Spreadsheet IT for Life courses, all of which have been completed. She is currently doing the It for Life Electronic Communications course. Sue is enthusiastic about her learning! Sue has also recently undergone numeracy diagnostic and will be enrolling on a numeracy course when she completes her current learning. She is looking at obtaining qualifications in both literacy and numeracy. |
