The Lairg Learning Centre was opened in April 2004 with an aim to make a range of learning, training and guidance services available for the first time in Central Sutherland. The long term purpose is to create a more inclusive community with the capacity to meet the challenges of living in a remote, rural and highly peripheral area of the UK.
Since 2004 the Lairg Learning centre has taught computing skills, languages - Gaelic, French and Spanish. In addition the centre has run various workshops including Crafts, gardening, massage techniques and mind mapping.
In addition the centre helps those requiring basic life skills supported by our ICT Tutor and visiting Highland Council tutors. LLC has offered job placements, training and guidance to New Deal clients and has helped people towards employment through Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) Employability programme.
2007 saw the provision of ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) both within the centre and as outreach classes and the support of students enrolled in FE and HE courses.
Lairg Learning Centre has gone from strength to strength with it's developments of new courses and projects.
We now have new computing systems that enable us to have media projects and currently have 2 very exciting media projects "Sutherland Landscapes" and "The Lives Of Highland Women".
Lairg Learning Centre, as you can see, is well on track to achieving its objectives!
