Since the end of 2021 Risingholme, Christchurch’s long established and TEC-funded ACE provider, has run three Work Readiness for Women Courses in collaboration with Dress for Success Christchurch. This is an international organisation which helps women become economically independent by providing clothes and skills for work readiness.
Lenore Wright is the Community Engagement Coordinator at Risingholme. She says they saw a need:
annual Festival of Adult Learning Ahurei Ākonga. The festival is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of learners all over Aotearoa and promote the benefits of lifelong learning.
