We aim to widen participation so that as many sections of the community as possible can experience the joy of learning and take advantage of the wider benefits that participation in learning brings, such as improved confidence, reduced social isolation, improved wellbeing, improved social cohesion and increased civic participation.
The service also aims to contribute to improving the skills and employment levels of the borough by supporting adults who are low-skilled, unemployed or otherwise distant from learning and employment to progress.
Learn Telford is part of a much wider range of services that make up Telford Job Box. Telford Job Box offers a range of services designed to support people to move into paid employment, however Learn Telford also supports retired individuals, people already in employment and those who are not yet ready or able to seek work.
