Ongoing work to support Ukrainian families and young people living in Bath and North East Somerset has been boosted with the appointment of a Ukrainian Youth Ambassador.

The Supported Internship Programme at Bath College starting in September 2024, is a fantastic initiative designed to equip young adults aged 18-25 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), particularly those with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, with the skills and confidence they need to thrive in the workplace.

At Somerset Skills & Learning (SS&L), they're committed to providing exceptional training experiences for both businesses and apprentices. Recognising the unique challenges apprentices can face, they're proud to offer their innovative SS&L ACHIEVE - Apprenticeship Coaching programme.

A new drive to increase the number of early years education and childcare practitioners available to families in Bath and North East Somerset is under way.

FWD is a partnership between B&NES Council, Bath College, Bath Spa University and the University of Bath and is funded by the West of England Combined Authority.
