Digital skills courses
You can benefit from our range of digital skills courses, covering topics such as CV writing, job searching, and computer and internet basics.
We also offer personal courses, such as saving money online and using your Clarion online account.
You can even borrow devices such as laptops, tablets and mobile wifi units while you learn with us.
There are drop-in classes, workshops and accredited courses, with many now available online via Microsoft Teams or Zoom.
ReTrain: £1,000 training grants
You may be able to get up to £1,000 to start or continue a course developing your work skills. You can use the money for course fees, course materials, equipment or childcare. Grants are usually up to £250 but, if your course is NVQ Level 3 equivalent or above, you could get up to £1,000.
I don't think I would have been able to do this on my own, but Clarion were there to help me.
