Here at Weston College, we understand that things can happen to change your work or career path, leaving you at a crossroads, unsure of what your next steps might be.  

Skill Up is a course aimed at those who need that extra bit of support with confidence building, to provide valuable skills and rekindle a sense of purpose in individuals who may have been out of the workforce for a while. 

This course, aimed to upskill the learners, include confidence building, decision making, effective communication and many other skills that are crucial when re-entering the world of work. 

Sharon, a Skill Up learner, who recently completed the course, shared some wonderful feedback: 

“The course was wonderful, I really enjoyed it! The tutors were brilliant, especially Paul. They were all really friendly and took the time to help you and were happy to do so. 

“It was also really nice for me to get out from my own four walls. It got me back in to a working routine. 

“The mock interview was really useful and I got great feedback. 

“I’m really pleased I was put forward for the course and I would recommend anyone to go on it if you’re an older person and not worked for a while. 

“It gave me confidence and purpose as well as improving my IT skills.” 

We are thrilled at the impact this has had on Sharon and the confidence it has given her in many different ways.
