**About Aldridge Adult Learning**

Aldridge Adult Learning provides daytime and evening adult education courses classes with a focus on skills for live courses (English, maths, digital skills and ESOL), along with a handful of vocational specialisms linked to local need (Education, Health & Social Care, Childcare).

AAL also offers apprenticeships in teaching support and we plan to expand our apprenticeship offer to further train young people and adults with the high quality vocational and technical skills our services within the Trust and employers in the communities we serve need.

AAL is passionate about adult education for all - and particularly the most vulnerable and hard to engage. We believe the opportunity to take control of your career options or to enjoy ongoing learning should continue throughout adulthood and we are committed to supporting our local communities in this mission.

Our offer provides progression pathways to better careers, employment, further study (including University) or simply a pathway to improved health and wellbeing.
