Adult Community Learning
Our Greenwich based Adult Learning programme continued to support people with a learning disability to develop self-confidence, to learn new skills and to improve their understanding of their local community. We were delighted to find out that we were a Highly Commended Finalist at the Mayor of London’s Adult Learning Awards.
Supported Internships
Supported Internships have continued to grow with Unity Works now delivering five programmes with DFN Project Search (up from three the previous year). These excellent programmes have resulted in skill development for both their interns and the host employers as well as several interns securing paid roles well before their graduation dates.
The future
My Unity Pathway, our accessible learning portal, is now in its roll out phase. We started the roll out with our trainees and individuals enrolled on our Unity Futures programme with the focus now turning to our adult community learning learners. My Unity Pathway will support individuals on their journey with us as well as enabling us to build a strong evidence base of engagement and progression, and thus help us to continue making the case for accessible vocational programmes and accessible apprenticeships.
We are keen to talk to training providers and employers about their accessibility and our employer engagement team is always happy to speak to businesses about their training needs and how they can offer opportunities to the people we support.
