The Education and Training Foundation, the Adult Learning Improvement Network and vocational instructors in Hull and Humber prisons have created a series of flyers to highlight opportunities that workshops bring to gain skills for employment.
The flyers within this zipped file are: Bicycle Repair, Bricklaying, Cleaning Services, Construction, Engineering, Engineering MultiskillsGraphic Design and Printmaking, Horticulture, Hospitality and Catering, Induction, Painting and Decorating, Plastering and Tiling.
This zip file contains the first drafts of fifteen flyers summarising the maths and English dimensions of a variety of technical and vocational areas. They were designed to help providers and employers to embed maths and English skills into their study programmes and work experience placements. Although these are still relevant there are now revised flyers that can be found on the Study Programmes Exhibition Site on the Excellence Gateway.
