Work Related Learning ProjectsThe Workers Education Association has been providing study opportunities in the workplace for nearly a century. We are proud to continue this tradition. Working in partnership with Trade Unions and Employers we aim to offer education of the highest quality. The key to success is flexibility, all courses are bespoke to the needs of individual needs, and delivery is arranged to ensure learners are able to participate fully. All learners are supported fully so that each individual can make the most of the learning on offer, including Dyslexia and Essential Skills support. “The ethos of widening participation and reaching out to hard to reach
and non traditional learners, such as older males, ethnic minority groups, shift
workers and part time workers is something that the union movement and Coleg
Harlech WEA both share. The Workplace Learning Department has an outstanding
record in taking learning to these groups of workers in their own workplace” In small businesses , voluntary organisations and within larger organisations the Coleg Harlech WEA(N) Learning@Work team offer tailor made courses for business, career and personal development.

DyfodolFirms in Gwynedd are being urged to tap into a ground-breaking £7.5 million
scheme to help boost their business. The Dyfodol project is open to all North West Wales businesses and the self employed and only costs a one off £50 registration fee for each participating employee. However, once registered, employees can access all the courses available to
help them develop their skills. Intermediate Labour Project (ILM)Leaflet in English (pdf) Leaflet in Welsh (pdf)
The contract is funded through WCVA's Intermediate Labour Market (ILM) project which is investing in organisations to support economically inactive people to gain skills & jobs. The ILM project is funded by EU Structural Funds & the Welsh Assembly Government. Judith Cole, project manager advised "People will be able to come to us who are unemployed and haven't really got skills or qualifications. We'll be paying them and they'll be able to learn skills that they can use in rural Wales, we'll be looking at land management, recycling, waste management and agriculture. Self-employment will also be a big theme given the shortage of large businesses in the area." Participants on the programme are expected to attend work/training 35 hours
a week, simulating a working routine. As such they are paid a wage (at minimum
wage rate) by the college. Over 18 months 65 people will be employed for 12-week
periods Those on the programme will undertake a nationally recognised qualification in employability, which covers areas such as CV and letter writing, application forms, interview skills and self development. Based on need, individuals will be encouraged and supported to develop their IT, literacy and numeracy skills, with the opportunity to gain qualifications where appropriate. Dyslexia support is also readily available, as well as a personal counsellor for those taking part on the programme Contact Judith Cole, project manager, or Julie Roberts, project administrator on 01766 781900 or email info@fc.harlech.ac.uk
