Learning through Work: Literacy, language, numeracy and IT skills development in low-paid, low-skilled workplaces – Literature review
The SEEDA-funded basic skills programme created learning partnerships centred on the low-paid workplace in NHS Trusts across the south east region. These learning partnerships delivered literacy, English language, numeracy and IT (LLNIT) skills in NHS workplaces. This report presents findings from the first stage of the project: a data analysis of low pay and low skills in the south east, and a literature review, which sought to characterise low-pay, low-skilled work and workplaces, and to identify practices and opportunities to develop LLNIT skills.
The SEEDA-funded basic skills programme created learning partnerships centred on the low-paid workplace in NHS Trusts across the south east region. These learning partnerships delivered literacy, English language, numeracy and IT (LLNIT) skills in NHS workplaces.
These offered a valuable opportunity to investigate, across a number of sites, how on-the-job LLNIT learning might widen participation in learning, to support both organisational performance and the skills development of low-paid workers in the south east.
