In SEE program classes, you will improve your English language, literacy or numeracy skills so you can move into further study or work. You will also gain digital literacy skills.
You will gain stronger reading skills, support with writing and using numbers. We will help you learn how to apply these to every day life, your work environment or help you with job applications and writing cover letters or resumes.
Through digital skills training, we can help you learn how to navigate the internet, use applications via a smartphone to help with everyday life or learn applications like Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
Participate in learning activities
Learning in the SEE program is inspirational and interactive.
While much of the course will take place in a classroom environment, you may also participate in learning activities outside the classroom. For example, visits to places in your local community such as:
- Local employers
- The library
- Supermarkets and local high street shops.
These outings are designed to make the classes interesting and relevant to your everyday life.
Your next steps
After finishing the SEE program, your next steps may involve study towards a qualification or vocational training. You may be looking to improve your career or advance in your current role. Or if you are looking for work, the course will give you the skills you need to look and apply for work.
Whatever your situation, we will make a plan to suit your needs.
