About

The Leap Project was formed in 2007 by University Campus Suffolk (UCS), Suffolk Learning and Skills Council, Suffolk County Council and the East of England Development Agency.

The aim of Leap is to make access to education and skills as local as possible in response to the rural nature of the county and recognising the problems of transport to education provision.

Leap delivers free and impartial, high quality information, advice and guidance to everyone seeking education or training opportunities. Leap also works with businesses wanting to improve the skills of their workforce.

The Leap Project is unique to Suffolk and has Centres and Points across the county.

Leap Centres have expert advisors who can provide up-to-date information, advice and guidance on all aspects of education. They can also help with CV writing and offer tips on interview and presentation skills. The Centres have teaching rooms and state-of-the-art IT suites.

Leap Points are micro versions of the Centres and based mainly in Libraries and Children's Centres. The Points offer information, advice and sign-posting to local learning opportunities.
