Description

This tender specially addresses Multiply Intervention C only - Innovative numeracy programmes delivered together with employers - including courses designed to cover specific numeracy skills required in the workplace, For a proportion of the East Riding's population traditional learning methods have failed and alternative methods are required to overcome anxieties and to engage individuals in informal learning and progress them into more structured learning. The focus of the Multiply programme is to ensure that activities are client-centred and learning methods are appropriate and accessible. The learning will build on the existing skills of an individual, increasing their confidence with numeracy in the workplace and moving them towards Level 2 capability. Provision will need to be informal and non-accredited utilising activities within the workplace such as, understanding weights and measures, performing basic calculations, working with budgets or analysing trends and patterns in numbers etc, whilst embedding numeracy within these activities. Activity does not need to be classroom based, and more innovative approaches can be utilised such as the use of space within the workplace or, wider community. All activities will be delivered within the context of local needs and practical and lived experiences, ensuring learning can be seen as relevant and valuable. Activities will encourage clients to participate in group and independent work with peer learning and support being a key feature. Activities will be provided in a variety of accessible workplaces and venues across the East Riding, to ensure there are opportunities to participate. Multiply funded activities are intended to support clients to move forward confidently in life, work, and further learning. Whilst activities will be intentionally informal to ensure the widening of participation, clients will be encouraged to consider on an individual level what success will look like for them personally. Recording what they hope to achieve, along with the progress and achievements they make, will help to identify their personal success, and build confidence. Interventions should not displace, replace and / or duplicate any existing adult numeracy provision, such as activity funded through the existing Adult Education Budget (AEB) statutory entitlement for maths qualifications. Opportunities to tender are by invitation only.
