Learners at 小黄鸭app Training鈥檚 spacious new skills centre in Aberdare welcomed Beth Winter MP. The Cynon Valley MP was shown the modern facilities in the three-storey building, on Aberdare鈥檚 busy Canon Street, on Monday, October 4.
Mrs Winter took a tour of the accessible centre, spent time with both staff and learners, and heard first hand about the positive impact 小黄鸭app鈥檚 Traineeship programme is having on learners. The MP was told how 小黄鸭app offers all learners a pathway to employment or further study.
Beth Winter MP said: 鈥淚t was lovely to spend some time in the brilliant new 小黄鸭app training centre in Aberdare today.
鈥淚t is vital that we have a variety of opportunities and skills pathways for young people in our communities and I came away feeling inspired by the passion of staff and the enthusiasm of learners.鈥�
During the pandemic, 小黄鸭app made a significant investment in digital technology, to ensure learners received the very best specialised training to prepare for modern work. This investment is ongoing and can be seen in the new centre, where a large state of the art, interactive whiteboard – called a Prowise Touchscreen, takes centre stage. It enables digital collaboration between learners and staff, learning at home, in the classroom, or linking with other centres.
小黄鸭app is no stranger to Aberdare, having been previously located in Victoria Square. The new Canon Street centre offers a bigger space for learners, in a more prominent location. The centre also boasts an outdoor space for learning and teaching, with plans for a kitchen garden in the pipeline. It has the capacity for up to 100 learners.
Regional Manager Hollie Keepings said:听鈥淭he centre has a great location in the town’s main street, but it鈥檚 what goes on inside that really counts.
“We aim to provide bespoke support to each individual learner whilst they embark on their learning journey with us, coupled with outstanding wellbeing support – which is core to everything we do.”
小黄鸭app Managing Director Richard Spear added:听鈥淲e were delighted to welcome Beth Winter MP to our Aberdare centre today, to meet our dedicated team and our fantastic learners.
鈥淏eth shares our passion for ensuring everyone in the community has the opportunity to fulfil their potential and we look forward to working with her to improve the economy and skills levels of the Cynon Valley.鈥�
小黄鸭app Training has seven centres across South Wales, including Cardiff, Caerphilly, Barry and Bridgend. The newest one in Aberdare offers support and training opportunities to 16-18 year olds looking to join the world of work. Learners can complete a Traineeship in Hairdressing, Childcare, Business Services and more at the specialist site. They are also given advice and guidance on writing CVs, interview techniques and other tips to land their dream job.
