SUMMARY:Making Maths & English Matter: Embedding Core Skills for Confident\, Work-Ready Learners
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\nWith the February 2025 removal of mandatory Functional Skills for some apprenticeships\, there is a growing risk that Maths and English development will be side-lined. Yet these skills remain essential for workplace competence\, learner progression and employer satisfaction.\n\nThis interactive 3-hour workshop will equip vocational tutors\, Functional Skills staff and curriculum leads with practical\, adaptable methods to embed Maths and English seamlessly into their delivery.\n\nContent will focus on live delivery impact — how to spot\, create and maximise opportunities for core skill development during training sessions\, workplace learning and reviews. The session will cover approaches that work with all learners\, including those with maths anxiety\, low literacy confidence or English as an additional language.\n\nAI and digital tools will be explored as time-saving enhancers for resource creation and differentiation\, without losing the human connection that makes learning stick.\n\nWhy This Topic\, Why Now\n\nPolicy change means Functional Skills is no longer guaranteed in every apprenticeship — but employer and Ofsted expectations for numeracy and communication remain high.\nWithout intentional embedding\, learners may leave with qualification ‘ticks’ but not the transferable skills they need for sustained success.\nProviders are under increasing pressure to show that Maths and English are relevant\, contextualised and integrated — not bolt-ons.\n\nObjectives\n\nThis workshop will cover:\n\nIdentifying opportunities to embed Maths and English into vocational teaching\, progress reviews and workplace tasks.\nStrategies to overcome common learner barriers such as Maths anxiety\, writing reluctance and limited workplace vocabulary.\nInclusive\, culturally relevant examples to make core skills accessible to diverse learner groups.\nDigital tools and AI integration to adapt activities for role relevance and learner need.\nReady-to-use activities and techniques for immediate implementation.\n\nFacilitator\n\nChristine Edwards\, QTLS\, Creating Excellence\n\nClick here to find out more information or to register.
