Enhancing Employees’ Maths Skills In The Workplace

Bespoke Numeracy Packages

We would like to let you know about a great opportunity that is available, via the Isle of Wight College, to improve your employee’s numeracy skills, called Multiply. Multiply is a new government-funded programme to help adults improve their numeracy skills. Adults who don’t already have a GCSE grade C/4 or higher in Maths will be able to access free courses that fit around their work and lives.

Following a short skills assessment to identify your employees’ current level and knowledge of maths, the Isle of Wight College will develop contextualised courses to suit your employee’s needs within their workplace. These courses can then be delivered at appropriate times to suit your organisation, whether that is on your premises or at the college in one of our fully equipped classrooms. Courses may consist of short, one-off interventions or longer courses which may last for several weeks.

This means that we can offer you a bespoke numeracy package that is tailored to your organisation and its employees. Businesses who develop their employees’ numeracy skills can boost productivity, increase profits, and improve employee retention. In addition to this, employees who complete their course will be able to build on their new skills by progressing onto a recognised qualification such as functional skills or GCSE, both of which are offered by the college.
