A Carer’s Journey
Next Article
This programme has been created in a partnership between Action for Carers Oxfordshire and Oxfordshire Adult learning.
A Carer’s Journey can help you gain confidence whilst caring for someone at home, balance your life with your caring role and support you with the practical and emotional challenges of caring or being an ex-carer.
The aim of the programme is to support carers whilst they manage some of the most difficult challenges in life and offer an opportunity to gain support and feel less isolated.
In 2021 this provision won an Association of CollegesBeacon Award for the quality and scope of the course!

Apprenticeships are not what you think…
Did you know that an apprentice can be any age, not just a school leaver, and that opportunities go beyond just practical trades?
Our specialist recruitment team will help you to think about what type of apprenticeship is right for you, and will help you to apply for vacancies. We always have a large number of employers recruiting for apprentices, and it could be you they are looking for!
Why choose an Apprenticeship? There are no costs for apprenticeship training for the apprentice. So that’s no student loan, no debt and a fantastic qualification to help you to progress at work!
We’re not pretending that it won’t be hard work, but with support from your employer, the College, and commitment from you, apprenticeships are a no-cost solution to kickstarting that amazing career you have always dreamed of.
Why choose Abingdon & Witney College?
As an outstanding provider of apprenticeships and having recently been awarded ‘Business Administration Apprenticeship Provider of the Year’ at the national 2021 Annual Apprenticeship Conference (AAC) Apprenticeship Awards, we will help you to find your dream apprenticeship.
