The new collaboration underscores both organisations’ commitment to educational excellence and community empowerment, particularly for those new to the area or country.
The new courses are designed to provide comprehensive language support, ensuring that individuals from diverse backgrounds can thrive both academically and socially. The partnership reflects a shared vision between Newbury College and Educafe of local collaboration to create inclusive educational opportunities that support personal and professional growth.
Educafe’s weekly community cafe at Newbury Library has seen hundreds of English Learners blossom thanks to its drop-in English conversation sessions, affectionately known as ‘Chatty Corner’. This friendly but purposeful approach acts as a springboard to further education, training, or employment.
Utilising the excellent facilities at Newbury College alongside an in-depth understanding of the region’s skills needs, the partnership will strengthen community connection with education and skills, forming a wider educational hub for the community.
The courses will start in November and will include:
- ~ Job Support Club – English for Work
- ~ Business Communications
- ~ Life in the UK: Living in the Community
Newbury College and Educafe look forward to welcoming new students and making a positive impact through this valuable partnership.
