Notice Title

BT1668 Multiply Funding for Ex Offenders

Notice Description

ALL DOCUMENTATION IS AVAILABLE ON THE PROCONTRACT (PROACTIS) PORTAL - BT1668 DN685761. The Multiply adult numeracy programme is aimed at adults aged 19+ and who do not already have a GCSE at grade C/4 or above, or Functional Skills qualification in maths. Multiply should offer easy access to free numeracy courses and initiatives, and build the confidence of your learner in using numbers at work or in everyday life. In order to support ex-offenders, we are seeking organisations to teach numeracy skills, to Luton residents who are ex-offenders. A successful outcome could be a learner joining a Functional Skills maths course with Luton Adult Learning. Multiply provision is aimed at improving uptake of maths qualification courses, improved job outcomes and increased adult numeracy across the population.
