  • Step Up case study - confidence to pursue art and design

    Topics:
    • Employment and skills programmes (including apprenticeships), 
    • Step Up case studies

    Step Up case studies allows readers to hear from people who have been supported by the Step Up funded projects.

    This participant had left mainstream education a few years back and was finding it difficult to return.

    They said:

    I attended Step Up Course last year and it gave me the opportunity to go onto a course I really wanted to do (Level extended diploma in art design which is worth three A levels). The course helped me gain the confidence to get back into education after not being in education for a few years. Step up and the amazing team gave me the confidence that I could go on and achieve anything.
