Learners
Foundation Learning could be just what you need to get started with further learning or a career.
Are you?
- Between 16 and 18?
- Doing nothing at the minute?
- Worried that you might not have the right
- qualifications or skills to get a job?
- Not sure what you want to do with your future?
Do you?
- Have some job ideas and would like a chance to try them out?
- Sometimes find it hard to motivate yourself?
- Prefer to be doing things with your hands than sitting in a classroom?
If any of these statements apply to you then a Newcastle Foundation Learning programme could be the place to be.
