What our trainees say about Skill Up
Gemma said
“When I started Skill Up I didn’t think it was going to be that much fun. But I started to meet new people and started to do new things that I’ve never done before. Also, there are people that you can talk to about anything. We went on day trips with everyone, we did things like paintballing, mountain boarding, raft building, making music and a lot more.”
Jamie said
“County Training is filled with lots of activities to do, with fun days out. It has a relaxed atmosphere, and you don’t feel pressured. You have help off the tutors with any problems, so everything goes smoothly.”
Samantha said
“County Training is a good place to go. There are lots of helpful and understanding tutors and people with similar problems. I like the activities and projects there are to do. County Training is a nice place. Its gives me something to do and some money to save.”
Tania said
“County Training is a good place to go. It’s good because you can achieve the stuff you missed out on in school. There is always something to do like going out for the day and meeting new people and if you have an interest like dancing or swimming County Training can always set something up for you.”

“County Training was a good thing for me. I met a lot of friends at County Training. It keeps me off the streets.”
