Yorkshire and Humber

Our work to date

The Network’ s regional development activities in the region began in a capacity building project funded by the Regional Development Agency Yorkshire Forward in 2001 as a partner in development activities for South Yorkshire with Yorkshire Training Partnership (YTP ). The Workplace Basic Skills Network in South Yorkshire project offered support in particular for workbased learning providers engaged with workplace language, literacy and numeracy delivery. The theme of this work continued during a second project from 2003-2004 in the project funded by LSC South Yorkshire Supporting Entry to Employment (E2E)and workbased learning providers to deliver quality basic skills.

The Network developed and delivered a range of new training workshops for workbased learning providers during the second project, many of which have been delivered after this pilot phase in additional regions. The workshops available are:

  • Initial assessment
  • Embedding language, literacy and numeracy in Individual Learning Programmes
  • Approaches to embedding language, literacy and numeracy within vocational learning
  • Strategies for peer observation of teaching and learning
  • Common Inspection Framework
  • Progress Tracking and Review Processes
  • Marketing to employers
  • Reaching Employees
  • Supporting entry level learners
