Multiply is the new national programme focused on improving adult numeracy skills. As part of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund the programme is targeted at Adults (over 19) who don’t already have Level 2 maths, designed to help people to develop their numeracy skills and confidence and support businesses to invest in their workforce/staff.
Regions will be working with government to ensure funding meets the specific needs we face. To support this work we have developed two information proforma’s to help gather information and intelligence; one is for training providers, community organisations or another type of service working with the public and the other document is for employers. These can be returned to skills@westofengland-ca.gov.uk
We are also holding a series of focus groups to discuss the information and intelligence we have received further.
The Community Support Fund (CSF) will help the most vulnerable within our communities, including those who’ve suffered disproportionately due to COVID-19. The project aims to provide the vital first step towards learning, training and work.
