THE PROJECTS
​
At the moment we run two separate courses, one tailored towards displaced individuals within Plymouth, which has been running for 3 years and another completely separate course more relevant to students within Plymouth which has been running for 1 year.
​
Both are taught by a specialist teacher and aim to enhance employability skills, develop soft skills and boost confidence.
To ensure both groups gain the knowledge and expertise they want to get out of recreo, the courses are taught differently and contain considerably different content, allowing the best possible outcome to come out of the course.
​
If you feel Recreo may benefit you or have any enquires to exactly what the course entails please do not hesitate to get intouch by emailing: recreoplymouth@gmail.com
