Gorethy Niyonkuru – Get confident with Digital skills

"I am a 52-year-old mother of 4, my 3 younger children are at school and my oldest is grown and independent. This now is my opportunity to chase my dream of becoming a nurse specialising in midwifery.

With English not being my first language and with very limited English skills, it was very important for me to learn the language to enable me to live, work, and raise a family in this country. I originally enrolled at Adult Education back in 2015 when I started ESOL classes working my way from ESOL through to English functional skills.

Today I am determined to gain all the necessary qualifications to progress on to an Access to Higher Education Diploma, move on to university, and graduate as a nurse. In September 2023 I enrolled in Functional Skills English Level 2 and Digital Skills Level 1.

Studying at Adult Education Wolverhampton has been a fantastic experience, I have learned to read, write, and communicate in English and my digital skills have opened up a new world. Learning has given me my independence, confidence, and the ability to pursue my dream job and become the person and role model I want to be."
