Life Skills

The ability to understand and use Language (communication), Literacy (words) and Numeracy (numbers) underpins a range of skills we all need in adult life.

A lot of people struggle with the Road Code test when trying to get their learner driver licence.
Their tutors support learners to improve reading and maths to help them pass.

At work good communication, understanding written and spoken words and accurately using numbers are all vital. They run community and workplace programmes focused on work skills.

Not all people leave school with the set of skills and confidence needed to start a job or career training. Our 'Work Ready' programmes help people have the best chance of success.

Language, Literacy and Numeracy abilities support:

• digital skills
• employment skills
• study skills
• self care skills
• financial skills
