Foundation Learning
Life is for living, creating memories, overcoming challenges and having fun. We want you to thrive in life not just survive and our aim is to help you develop a substantial set of life skills.
Our Foundation Learning courses are designed to help support people wanting to improve their basic skills for work and everyday living. Delivered in a safe, supportive and nurturing environment, our committed team offers specialist support to each student based on their individual needs.
Our Foundation Learning courses include Life Skills, Vocational Skills and Work Skills Programmes, as well as our very own KC Futures course. This course is designed to help students who may have missed part of their education work on their skills and carve out a future that suits them.
Learning support is given to all foundation students on a one-to-one basis and some courses also offer classroom lessons and work placement.

Project Search Case Studies
Toby
Working in the Dermatology department at Dewsbury and District Hospital as part of Project Search
Since joining Project Search, I have met lots of new people and learnt new skills. The project has helped to build my confidence using public transport by providing the travel training and support I needed to confidently travel to the hospital independently. I have learnt to communicate more effectively with others and hope to use my experience on the project to find a job and keep learning.
George
Working in the Medical Records department at Dewsbury and District Hospital as part of Project Search
Project Search has given me experience in different areas of work to see what is most suited to me. I have improved my communication, physical and IT skills and enjoy talking to the patients at the hospital. I have learnt how to manage my time well and I hope to start an apprenticeship course after completing Project Search to help improve my job prospects.
