is a not-for-profit organisation, which provides education and guidance for adults in the Colchester area. EEO aims to meet the needs of people who face barriers to participation in education because of factors such as cost, location or timing of courses.

EEO works flexibly by offering affordable and sometimes free courses in the workplace and in community venues. The tutors are all professionally qualified and experienced and courses are devised to meet the needs of groups and individuals, whether this be for personal enrichment or enhancing employability. EEO works in partnership with other organisations in the voluntary and public sectors.
