The City of Liverpool College offers free courses to open up job opportunities for adults

The City of Liverpool College offers free courses to open up job opportunities for adults

Adults of all ages across Liverpool City Region are set to benefit from free Level 3 courses at The City of Liverpool College, including engineering, health, digital, construction and accountancy. 

The fully funded courses are being offered as part of the Government’s unprecedented Lifetime Skills Guarantee, announced by the Prime Minister last year. The programmes aim to completely transform the skills system to ensure more people, no matter their age or background, can get the skills they need to progress in employment.

The courses, for which a loan or self-funding would ordinarily be required for adults over the age of 24, will be fully funded and available to adults of any age without an existing full qualification at Level 3 (A-level equivalent), to help them gain in-demand skills and open up further job opportunities.

Designed to help the country build back better after the pandemic, the qualifications in this offer have been carefully chosen to help adults improve their career prospects and meet the needs of the economy. They will be reviewed regularly so the courses offered can be updated as the economy changes.

Courses available at The City of Liverpool College from April are vast, ranging from courses in coding, cyber security and uniformed public services, to plastering, carpentry and engineering.

Elaine Bowker, Principal at The City of Liverpool College, said:

“The past year has brought with it significant challenges for people across the country who have found themselves either unemployed or in jobs that are not secure as a result of the pandemic. Through schemes such as this, we can help adults across the Liverpool City Region make real, lasting change and provide them with a rare opportunity to gain in-demand skills.

“These courses are incredibly diverse and are open to adults of any age who are looking to re-train, upskill or change careers, without having to take out a loan and get into debt. It’s a fantastic opportunity to anyone who wants to improve their employability and give themselves the best possible chance for a successful career.”

The offer is backed by £95 million from the £2.5 billion National Skills Fund, which is financing programmes that both support the immediate economic recovery and help meet future skills needs.

Alongside the new Level 3 offer, the Lifetime Skill Guarantee will also include a Lifelong Loan Entitlement which will allow adults and young people to space out their study across their lifetimes and take high-quality courses in both further education colleges and universities.
