What is the Learning Gateway?
It’s a chance to make a success of your future even if you didn't do well at school.

How will the Learning Gateway help me?

> You will have a personal adviser who will help you plan for your future.

> You will get help with the skills that you need in life eg working with other people, talking and writing, using computers and becoming more confident.

> Your personal adviser can help you to find a job, a training place or a course and help you to make a success of it.

> They can help you sort out problems that may be stopping you getting into work or training.

> Your personal adviser will continue to keep in touch with you and help you until you are settled in training, education or work.

Will I get paid?

> To start with you will get travel expenses while you are deciding with your personal adviser the best way forward.
