📚 National Literacy Day 2026 📚

Strong literacy skills can make a real difference when it comes to finding work, gaining qualifications, and building confidence in everyday life.

At Employability Durham, we're proud to work closely with DurhamLearn, who deliver a range of English courses in communities across County Durham. Whether you're looking to improve your reading, writing, spelling, or communication skills, there are supportive learning opportunities available to help you take the next step.
