The recent information presented by Greater Nottinghamshire Learning Partnership (GNLP) highlighted that 67,000 adults in Nottinghamshire lack basic skills in literacy, numeracy and have English as a second language. At CCA our core aim is to develop the capacities of the individuals/groups in our community. Within CCA we have staff that have acquired training and accreditation as basic skills assessors. We plan to deliver basic skills and I.T. facilities to ensure that alongside basic skills training we can promote the importance of information technology within our community. By providing this much-needed service, CCA believes it can enhance life skills, leading to:

• Increased confidence
• Greater motivation
• Change of lifestyles
• Developed listening skills
• Improved spoken language and communication
• Benefits of signposting to appropriate agency
• Personal benefits for yourself and your family

In order to achieve this, CCA's Rebuild service offers the following components:

• Individual needs assessment
• Support previous skills to be active in the labour market
• Assist refugees to move closer to the labour market
• Information, Computer and Technology training
• Social integration particularly for refugee women
• Sign posting & advice and guidance
• Tailored training, job search and employability skills
• Information on Employment Law
