A training centre has opened on Walton Street giving young learners the perfect start to a variety of fresh career options.
Central Training Aylesbury will offer range of Skills For Employment, Training and Personal Development (SETPD) allowing all young people to gain employability skills.
Already 32 learners have enrolled at the centre to learn skills in areas as diverse as catering, business and administration, child care, construction and driving theory.
Centre Manager Karen Cox has worked in educational training for 32 years and has seen how the need for skills training has evolved.
She said: “For lots of reasons learners often need to have the option to learn away from a training centre. This could be down to anything from anxiety to mobility issues so the demand for a more flexible approach to training is growing.
“Often we can combine learning from home with some work based training but ultimately we pride ourselves on offering a bespoke programme to all young people so they get the training that matches their requirements.”
While the centre itself is based in Aylesbury, the learning programmes are open to young people across Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Uxbridge.
