Vulcan Learning Centre and Boxing Club

The Vulcan Centre is a charity organisation. It started as a boxing club in 2012 in a small industrial unit and was established by an ex-Probation Officer, a teacher, and a Youth Worker.

The aim of the boxing club was to increase the uptake of boxing in the area, improve general fitness and to promote the value of discipline and respect amongst local children and young people.

In 2013, the Club moved to its current premises in the Hull Fish Trade building, where it has since flourished.

The centre now offers education courses, apprenticeships, work placements, vocational training, youth projects, mentoring, help with housing and a safe space in which to enjoy sports, recreational and social activities.

The CLLD programme that we are offering has 4 aspects to it (many of which will be available as online packages and support to assist with improving employment opportunities during and post coronavirus):

Preparation for employment (12 weeks) -

to include CV writing, job searches and applications, interview preparation, Maths, English, essential skills training to enable a person to progress to employment

Entrepreneurial course (12 weeks) -

for people who have an idea for business and will benefit from support and funding to put this into action. This course allows participants to devise a business plan, register a business, market the business and to learn basic record keeping for tax purposes.
