Welcome to JLSC

The Jinnah Languages and Skills Centre (JLSC) subscribes to the saying that learning starts from the cradle and ends in the grave. Learning opportunities should be accessible to all and be delivered in a variety of approaches. The overall aim of JLSC is to develop people’s skills, knowledge and confidence, adding to their quality of life and helping to build stronger communities.

We live in a world where one set of skills base is no longer enough as the demands on the workforce change so should the skills. Adult learning is vital in today's changing world where the facts and approaches we learned in our formal education are obsolete within a few years. Life-long learning has visible economic implications, contributes to the growth of society, helps bring about change, and improves the quality of life for the individual. JLSC wishes to promote adult learning to ensure people are not disadvantaged by having a limited skills base.

JLSC also recognizes the importance of family learning and wants to promote this within the Black Country regions. Research has shown that families are our first and most important teachers, and that parental support is a key factor throughout a child's education. Children spend only 15% of their waking hours in school, which leaves 85% spent at home, with huge potential for learning.

The Jinnah Languages and Skills centre will benefit those learners who wish to:

improve their academic qualifications;
seek employment or improve their chances for a better position at work;
be able to help their children in their homework or studies;
finish off their secondary or post-secondary education;
become computer literate;
overcome literacy or numeracy problems;
learn a craft;
pursue some subjects for pleasure;
tap their creative resources through Art, Music or Drama
