Tel: 0161 519 4900
Seetec Outsource’s aim is to empower ESOL learners in taking charge of their own futures. We support their transformation and inclusion into society by adding value to their programme; not only learning English but increasing their knowledge and awareness in Digital Skills, British Values & Prevent, Budgeting, Mental Health and Employment. We create a respectful and understanding environment to engage individuals from various backgrounds, gender and age. We find most of our learners are well-educated in their native country but often find they are working in UK entry level jobs that don’t challenge their knowledge or skill-set, therefore we want to foster those and provide them with a platform to flourish by building their confidence and English language.
We are based in the Manchester City Centre in St Peters Square at Spaces.
Our main area of delivery is functional courses for ESOL learners (reading, writing, speaking & listening) but we also include vocational courses (British Values, Progression & Well-being and Employability). We also deliver Traineeships and vocational pathways such as Hospitality, Retail, Construction, Business Administration and Warehouse & Storage/FLT.
We deliver courses from Entry Level 1 to Level 2 in reading, writing, speaking & listening and all ESOL vocational courses are at EL3. Additionally, we provide L1 vocational pathways.
