Learning through Work: Literacy, language, numeracy and IT skills development in low-paid, low-skilled workplaces – Audit of Learning

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 second stage of this project: an analysis of an audit of learning conducted in organisations where low-skilled and low-paid jobs exist.

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.
