Spending a full year on a single programme allows learners to master techniques step by step, ensuring deeper understanding and proficiency.

Personalised Support:

Our instructors tailor lessons to individual strengths and needs, providing a patient, hands-on approach that encourages steady growth.

Self-Discovery & Confidence:

As learners progress through each module, they experience tangible improvements that boost self-esteem and independence.

Space for Social & Behavioural Workshops

Path to a Sheltered Employment Enterprise Hub & Income Generation

By the end of the 12-month period, learners have the opportunity to join an Enterprise Hub at the Academy. This means they can create marketable products—such as handcrafted furniture or luxury soap bars—and earn income through a percentage-based model.

The results are:

1

Real-World Experience:

Engaging in an Enterprise Hub gives learners insights into product design, quality control, and sales.
2

Future Employment Opportunities:

The practical skills and work habits developed here can open doors to employment within or beyond the LUCCA ecosystem.
3

Sustainable Income Potential:

Having a proven skill set and tangible products to sell can foster greater independence in the long term.
