Adult Learners Week

TSW Training Apprenticeships is supporting the annual Adult Learners Week campaign, celebrating lifelong learning and creating progression opportunities.

In its 30th year, Adult Learners Week aims to raise awareness of career development in Wales.

This week, we’ll focus on how lifelong learning aids your career progression, whatever your position, job title, age or experience. And, we’ll help you find the motivation to unlock new skills in your career.

Adult Learners’ Week gives you the chance to: 

• Develop new or existing skills 
• Progress in your career 
• Build confidence in your ability 
• Take part in new courses and learning opportunities
