There is a growing need for people to upskill and retrain throughout their working lives in response to technological and economic changes. Employees need to adapt and take on board new information and ways of working, but may lack confidence in their skills to be able to keep pace with their employer's business. Addressing literacy, numeracy and digital skills gaps in the workplace can help, benefitting both business and workers. This guide aims to help employers work effectively with learning providers, and access sources of funding such as the Adult Education Budget to help address basic skills needs in the workplace. It highlights the benefits of supporting employees to gain good basic literacy, numeracy and digital skills, and provides further information on how to offer training effectively. This guide has been developed by Learning and Work Institute following extensive research and sector engagement. These activities included a review of research evidence on workplace basic skills provision, interviews with a range of providers and employers, and workshops with providers and experts to develop and test the content.
