Guidance

Community Learning and Development (CLD) provide learners with guidance information to help them to make positive changes in their lives.

This can be done in a variety of ways, for example, by defining clear step-by-step plans for their learning or finding a chosen career path. CLD can highlight appropriate opportunities that would help gain qualifications or experience.

Once people have a clear plan of what they would like to do, CLD can help them to achieve their goals by providing learning or suggesting other options. Support can be offered to fill out forms where appropriate.

When people make a positive change like this to improve their future it can lead to an increase in skills, confidence and self-esteem.
