Learn new skills

A NEW training centre to help non-English speaking residents learn basic skills has opened in Kensington.

The venue, called Empreinte, aims to improve language, literacy and IT.

It has been funded by Kensington Regeneration and is run by the Congolese Association of Merseyside.

Project manager Mathieu Kapasi said: “We called the centre Empreinte as that is French for fingerprint and we want to make our mark in Liverpool.”

All training is free, with a charge of £1 per hour for using the centre for internet access only.
