Qualification success
Twenty four young people have gained National Vocational Qualifications Levels 1-3 through the SAVY Project at Cwmbran Centre for Young People.
The NVQs were in areas such as IT, Youth Work and Business Administration. Further NVQs were gained through work placements including welding, mechanics and child care. Six staff members have passed the NVQ A1 Assessors Award and two are training to become Internal Verifiers. The project also offers the training programme which encourages young people to develop workplace skills, and Open College Network qualifications in personal development, communication, youth work and ICT.
The project has just received an additional £70,000 grant from the European Social Fund which means more young people can receive training grants while they learn.
