Also taking place during Adult Learners Week is National Learning at Work Day.
On Thursday, May 22, Lancashire College is inviting employers and employees to visit the college and find out about the variety of training and qualifications provided by Lancashire Adult Learning.
Employees can also take part in a free two hour NVQ taster session which is taking place between 12.30pm and 2.30pm on the day.
The session is designed to show learners how a NVQ works and what is involved in completing one so that they can make a more informed choice about which course is best for them.
Andy Yeomans, assistant head of Lancashire Adult Learning at Lancashire County Council, said: "Why not come along and try something different, just for interest's sake - or to begin what might become a lifetime's hobby?
"There will be the opportunity to try learning new skills that could lead to better job prospects.
"And while you're at it, we'll be able to give you all the information on our full range of courses."
Lancashire Adult Learning is the county council's adult education service which runs day and evening courses for adults of all ages and abilities at local venues across the county.
