Refreshments will be available from a student-run ‘pop up’ café, while a craft fair will showcase the talents of students on the Supported Internship and Supported Employment programmes.
Councillor Chris Burden, Cabinet Member for City Development, Jobs and Skills, said: "Our students speak very highly of the various programmes that Adult Education Wolverhampton offer to learners with additional needs, such as the very popular Life Skills programmes, which are helping them develop the skills they need to live as independent a life as possible.
