Registration is now open for hundreds of young people to take part in this year’s Summer University programme, delivered by Enfield Council’s Youth Development Service.
The 80 free courses will be hosted by carefully selected partners and are designed to raise young people’s aspirations, help them to learn new skills and provide support so they can navigate their way through the next stage in their lives.
This year’s five-week programme had instrumental input from Enfield’s Young Leaders who completed workshops and received accreditation from AQA in Youth leadership. They formed the scoring panel for the courses submitted for the Summer University programme and also worked on publicity and marketing materials.
Enfield Council’s Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, Abdul Abdullahi, said: "We are committed to supporting core skills development so young people can have access to good jobs and positive social experiences. Relaunched in 2019, the Summer University has proved to be absolutely essential for many young people in Enfield, providing access to lots of brilliant courses during the holiday period.”
Registration for the summer programme is now open at https://youthenfield.taptub.co.uk/time-trek-summer-uni-2022/ for young people aged 11 to 19 years, or up to 25 years for those with special educational needs.
