Make a welcome return to learning

Are you female and been out of work and education for some time? Then why not consider the free WELCOM (Women’s Enterprise and Learning in Computing) course at the University of Teesside? The women-only course is designed for women who may have been out of education or work for a lengthy period. It aims to help students gain sufficient confidence and skills to gain work locally or progress on to Higher National Diploma, first degree and Masters courses at the University.

The course is supported by the European Union and funding will cover fees and some childcare and travel costs. It will run from 25 September 2002 to 8 May 2003 with breaks to coincide with school holidays, including half terms. Classes will take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10 am to 2 pm.

Subjects covered include:

Essential IT - an introduction to the basic use of computers and their applications, including the Internet
Word processing, spreadsheets and databases
Communication and study skills
Numeracy

Each module assessment leads to credits that contribute to the award of University Certificate of Advanced Professional Development.

Students will have full access to all University facilities, including the Learning Resource Centre, sport and recreation facilities, and the Students’ Union.
