It is intended for individuals living within the North Yorkshire boundary (with a North Yorkshire postcode) who are currently not working and looking to upskill. It is for people who may feel disconnected from learning and would benefit from a calm and nurturing environment. We also welcome those who are already signed up for Step Up.
