Education Programmes
Over the last 30 years, Llamau has established a strong reputation for delivering a high quality, flexible and nurturing education programme aimed at young people age 16-24 that promotes an ‘experts by experience’ mentality to homelessness.
Step into Programmes
Each Step into Programme focuses on the core areas of a young person’s life. We support them to progress through each step of the learning programme, developing and enhancing their skills and capabilities.
A core aim of this accredited programme is for young people to develop self-belief, feel proud of what they have achieved and confident that they can continue to overcome their identified barriers to education, employment and training.
Step into Education sees the delivery of our Essential Skills Wales programmes, awards in PSE and WRE and interactive workshops.
Step into Employment offers an intensive accredited Future Employability Programme for those that are almost ready and able to enter the labour market.
