Reach new heights with Multiply
The government’s new £560 million programme to help transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of adults across the UK was launched in 2022, being delivered through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
Numeracy is the ability to understand and use maths in daily life, home, and work. Whether that be improving household finances, helping children with homework, making more sense of the stats and facts in the media, or improving numeracy skills specific to your line of work.
People who improve their numeracy skills are more likely to be in employment, have higher wages, and better wellbeing, and will be more able to progress to higher levels of free training to secure a skilled job in our economy.
Businesses who develop their employees’ numeracy skills can boost productivity, increase profits, and improve employee retention.
Employers who could benefit from boosting their workforce’s skills will be able to work with their Local Authority and training providers to deliver Maths GCSEs or work-ready Functional Skills Qualifications and design and deliver bespoke programmes for their workforce – at no cost to them.
All adults and businesses across the UK can benefit from Multiply.
In Cumbria we are currently working with some major employers to improve employees’ numeracy skills, including The NHS, Morgan Sindall and Cavanagh and Grey.
