A number of Community Union members have recently completed a Conversational Spanish Course within Corus Dalzell in Motherwell. The course was funded through Community Union’s Scottish Union Learning Fund (SULF) Project and was provided by John Wheatley College within the conference room of Corus Dalzell.
Despite the difficulties facing Community members within this workplace and despite the loss of the Community ULR for the site due to redundancy, the course was a huge success. The course ran for 6 weeks and all of those who attended have given up 2 hours of their own time to come along each week – there were even a few members who have recently been made redundant who have continued to come along & complete the course.
This is the first such course that has taken place within a Corus site in Region 1 and has been a huge success with excellent feedback from the members who attended. A small graduation ceremony to recognise the achievements of these members took place recently and certificates were presented by John Wheatley College.
