North East Lincolnshire wants your say on learning for grown-ups

Whether you’re curious about pottery, upskilling for work, or thinking of a career switch, North East Lincolnshire wants to know how you’d prefer to hear about adult learning opportunities.

An online survey is open to locals aged 19 and over, asking how people usually find out about short courses, workshops, and training programmes, and what might get them to sign up. With many options available for free or at a subsidised rate, the Council is keen to remove the biggest barrier: a lack of awareness.

It’s part of a wider push to refresh how adult education is promoted in the borough. The feedback will help the Council and local providers tailor future campaigns, from online ads to posters in town, so more people know what’s available.

The survey is open until Friday, 18 July and takes just a few minutes to complete. Those who would rather share their thoughts in person can visit Freshney Place (outside Bakers and Baristas) on Wednesday, 18 June, where the Adult Learning Team will be available from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. Paper copies are also available on request.
