People signing up for the Project will work to an individual personal development plan designed to build skills, knowledge and confidence. There will be opportunities to study basic computer training, numeracy, literacy, health and fitness, Living Well With Epilepsy, and help with career planning, work experience and much more.
The Project is open to adults with epilepsy who are able to travel to Glasgow city centre and who are prepared to spend 3 days per week for a minimum of 3 months taking part in training at Epilepsy Connections’ office, local colleges and workplaces as appropriate.
