MORE than 130 east Antrim people returned to adult education over the last year thanks to a joint programme between Northern Regional College and LEDCOM (Larne Enterprise Development Company).
This was the first year of the three year Learner Access and Engagement Programme which aims to increase adult enrolment in essential skills and Further Education courses and to increase the numbers achieving recognised qualifications locally.
All courses are delivered in local community venues and are open to everyone.The programme targets learners who are currently unemployed and hold no more than one qualification at level 2 or above.
