Adult Learning
There are literally loads of
organisations and centres offering training of all sorts in Rotherham. My brief flirtations with two of three of them during periods of unemployment a few years ago did not leave me
impressed.
November 2006 The Rotherham Learning Network project within Rotherham MBC's Adult and Community Learning Team is going live on the Internet. Visit their website www.rotherhamlearningnetwork.org.uk, which is an information
point for Adult Learning in Rotherham and contains "Information on Adult Learning across the Rotherham Borough".
My search of the World Wide Web trying to find websites relating to training opportunities, centres and services in Rotherham found only a couple of websites. Here are some of the organisations offering training that I have found in the Rotherham area.

There are many, many more, in fact probably there are more training agencies in the Rotherham area than there are building societies and charity shops in the town centre. Lots of agencies, loadsa training, few jobs and even fewer opportunities (except in the job training field).
