East Riding councillors from the Goole and Howdenshire area have visited Goole’s Adult Learning Centre to hear about the range of courses available and the positive impact it is making on the lives of local people.
Since opening its doors in the summer of 2016, the centre in Pasture Road has seen around 500 learners’ access courses each year. Local ward members were keen to learn more and toured the centre with manager Nicki Berry.
Nicki said: “It was good to show our local councillors around the centre and let them know what is available. By providing this information, ward members can help refer residents to us. The past 14 months have been really successful, not just for us but for our learners as well. The centre continues to go from strength-to-strength and the curriculum is continuously being developed to provide a real choice of courses.”
Here are five things to know about Goole Adult Learning Centre:
Councillor Andy Burton, cabinet portfolio holder for economic investment at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “Our adult learning centres do a fantastic job in supporting residents to learn new skills and develop their knowledge.
“As our most recently opened adult learning centre, it was great to tour the facility at Goole with my fellow councillors and to find out what it has to offer the local community.”
