matrec (manor training & resource centre)
Manor Training & Resource Centre (MaTReC) is a voluntary-sector training
organisation. Its legal status is that of a charitable company limited by
guarantee. Founded in 1987 its primary aim is to empower the local community by
delivering low cost training to equip people with the skills to re-enter and/or
advance within the labour market. Manor Training & Resource Centre Ltd (MaTReC),
evolved from Manor Employment Project (MEP), which began life in 1979. The MEP
project was set up to provide premises for small local businesses. By the mid
80s the issue of training had become increasingly important, so MaTReC was
established in April 1987, with the express aim of providing local people with
the opportunities to obtain skills and qualifications. We now offer training to
all the peopleof Sheffield and surrounding areas. MaTReC’s main site was
converted from old shops using local labour. It was opened in 1989 by Richard
Caborn MP. The charity is constantly updating its programme of courses so
whether its Functional Skills Maths and English, GCSE Maths or English or other
courses MaTReC will help find the right course for you. We help to re-engage
adults furthest away from the job market by identifying and removing barriers to
learning. We teach functional basic skills including English, Maths and basic
ICT. We pride ourselves in supporting adults with specific learning difficulties
to reach their potential to gain confidence and self esteem.
