Life
The Learn4Life project aims to assist and support people aged 16 upwards who would like to increase their employment, training or educational opportunities by delivering a range of related programmes, accessing specific pots of funding and supporting volunteering. Digartref receives funding to further enhance the prospects of people by offering advice in securing vocational training/part-time education.
Inspire
Inspire is an Agored Cymru Accredited programme for people aged 16 upwards.
The programme provides not only employability skills, but also independent living skills to increase the chances of those engaging in maintaining a tenancy and therefore reduce the risk of future homelessness.
One major aim is to assist people in gaining recognised qualifications (Agored Cymru certificates, comparable to GCSE’s or NVQ’s).
Core subject’s delivered include: Tenancy Skills, Basic Employability Skills and Personal Development. The programme also consists of sessions delivered by external agencies. Inspire acts as a stepping stone into employment, further training or volunteering.
