Foreword: Adult Learning making a positive difference to residents’ lives
Coventry City Council is committed to providing high-quality adult and community learning that meets the needs of our residents. We aim to offer a wide and inclusive range of courses so that everyone has the chance to build skills, move forward in their lives, and take part in their community. Our goal is simple: to help people succeed and make sure no one is left behind.
This report shows the positive difference that learning with the Adult Education Service makes. It highlights how our courses help people grow in confidence, gain useful life and work skills, and feel more connected to others. Many learners also tell us they feel healthier, less isolated, and better able to access other support, supporting the aims of the One Coventry Plan.
It is encouraging to see that over 70% of respondents gained or improved the skills they need for further learning, volunteering, or employment. This shows the strength and value of the service and its role in helping people reach their goals.
I would like to thank all the learners who shared their feedback, and the staff and partners who work hard to provide these opportunities across the city.
