Youth and adults with no or limited literacy and numeracy skills in areas where ICOLEW / Community Learning Centre implementation is available.

How to approach the route
A programme should show you the next steps, not leave you with only a name.
Confirm whether ICOLEW or a Community Learning Centre is operating in the area.
Contact the responsible community-development / programme structure.
Join the appropriate learning group or programme activity if enrolment is open.
Use VORA to locate the responsible local route where the programme is present.
Before you act
What still needs checking
ICOLEW is not operating in every district at the same level. Local programme presence must be verified.
Coverage / implementation: Implemented in participating districts with plans for broader rollout; local presence should be checked.
Responsible route
Where to start
Use the official MGLSD ICOLEW / Community Learning Centre route in participating areas; VORA can help identify the responsible local route.
