Skills for Life - Bridging the gap

Submitted by Visitor on Sat, 2003-01-11 15:53.

Of the 23 million adults in work in England:

Approximately 3 million have poor levels of literacy
Around 9 million have poor levels of numeracy

If employees:

Misread just 1% of instructions
Don't calculate with 100% accuracy
Miss out on team discussions
Keep inaccurate records
Have trouble writing things down

They could have a serious impact on business performance.

Our Approach

Backed by a major government initiative, Yorkshire Productivity's fully-funded Skills for Life' programme now offers simple and straightforward steps which a business can take to improve performance and increase profitability.

Any adult, regardless of their level of formal education, can have a skills gap which affects his or her business performance,and this can apply to any organisation in any market.
