Delivery of Multiply Intervention C: Innovative Numeracy Programmes with Employers in East Riding

About

East Riding of Yorkshire Council awarded a contract to The Skills Network Limited for the delivery of Multiply Intervention C, focusing on innovative numeracy programmes delivered together with employers, including courses designed to cover specific numeracy skills required in the workplace.

The contract, valued at AUD 50,000, targets a proportion of the East Riding's population for whom traditional learning methods have failed, requiring alternative methods to overcome anxieties and engage individuals in informal learning and progress them into more structured learning.

The provision is informal and non-accredited, utilising workplace activities such as understanding weights and measures, performing basic calculations, working with budgets, or analysing trends and patterns in numbers, while embedding numeracy.

Activities are delivered in accessible workplaces and venues across the East Riding, encouraging group and independent work with peer learning and support.

The focus is client-centred, building on existing skills to increase confidence with numeracy in the workplace and move individuals towards Level 2 capability.
