👏 An incredible achievement and a huge step forward in her legal career—well done, Maisie!

Joanne was stuck in a rut, unsure of her next steps, when she first heard about Learning & Skills through a friend.

Seeing someone she knew progress through a course and move into employment gave Joanne the confidence to take that all-important first step. She quickly realised that once you begin, the opportunities really can be endless.

Joanne enrolled on our Level 1 Award in Preparing to Work in Schools, is now about to complete her Level 2 Award in Support Work in Schools and Colleges, and is set to progress onto the Level 3 Diploma in Supporting Teaching and Learning.

In the space of just a year, Joanne has gone from stuck to striving. We are incredibly proud of her journey—at Learning & Skills, we don’t just see where you are now, we see where you’re going, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead 💙

ENROLMENTS ARE NOW OPEN for our Level 1 and 2 Preparing to Work in Schools, Introduction to Early Years Settings and Support Work in Schools and Colleges courses.
