A Personal Learning Account is a new initiative from Welsh Government that has been introduced to address two growing issues; the barriers preventing learning in adulthood and the rising skill shortages currently facing priority sectors.
A Personal Learning Account could provide you with the opportunity to develop your career or move to a sector that can offer you the chance to develop and progress, while also providing a route out of in-work poverty and underemployment.
Why a PLA?
- Fully funded, flexible, part-time training and qualifications
- Progress in your career
- Change employment sector
- Improve your employment prospects by retaining your role or securing improved employment

Dementia Awareness Training, delivered by TLC for Coleg Sir Gar
"....the training will have a long term effect on those who took the course as we all learned a lot about Dementia and we can all now understand this disease a lot better, along with being more aware of the signs and symptoms that dementia presents. It will also help all carers to provide better person centered care for our service users."
