College launches WACC Shack in Walsall shopping centre

Looking to learn to earn more in 2012? It's now been made simpler to get back into college, thanks to the launch of a new store in Walsall Town

Centre.

Walsall Adult & Community College has launched its 'WACC Shack' within the Saddlers Shopping Centre.

The store - opposite the Carphone Warehouse - will be open six days a week, Monday to Saturday, from 9am to 5pm, throughout January and February 2012.

The college sees it as an opportunity for Walsall shoppers and visitors to pop in and find out more about the hundreds of learning opportunities with

the college.

Maria Gilling, college principal at WACC said: "It's normally at this time in the year when many people begin to assess where their life and career is

heading.

"The job market in the current climate is now more competitive than ever before and employers are always looking for candidates who are ready and

willing to upskill and retrain.

"Here at WACC we can provide many excellent learning opportunities for those who desire to take a new direction in their life."

Learners who are looking to boost their grades in English writing and spelling and maths can enquire about WACC's intensive learning courses in Maths, English and using computers which are designed to support learners who are looking for work or to boost their prospects with their current employer.

Each year, over 8,000 learners study with the Leamore based college in a wide variety of subjects from business to beauty and computers to catering.

There are courses for young people, school leavers, students considering higher education and adults interested in studying full or part-time.
