East Riding Adult Learning’s mobile learning centre, is set to tour towns in the region, running engagement events and learning sessions on getting ready for maths and English, for residents.
The centre, funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) brings learning facilities directly to the community, enhancing education delivery in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The bespoke classroom, fitted into the bus, offers a unique learning environment, the first of its kind in the region.
The mobile learning centre, operated by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, will visit Hornsea Hub on Monday 2, 23, and 30 March. It will also visit Beverley on Monday 9 March, Hornsea Mere on Wednesday 11 March, Withernsea seafront on Wednesday 18 March, Castle Hill Hospital on Thursday 19 March, and Bridlington on Wednesday 25 March.
The centre has received £170,000 in investment to support residents with preparation courses prior to supporting a maths or English qualification.
Councillor Anne Handley, East Riding of Yorkshire Council leader said: “We’re proud to support lifelong learning across the East Riding and enable residents to develop their skills and qualifications. We encourage interested residents to visit the learning centre if they can and sign up to the courses available.”
