Welcome to Skills for Life in the South West
Welcome to the South West’s online resource for everyone interested in adult literacy, ESOL and numeracy.
The Skills for Life portal site is a one stop shop for everyone involved in Skills for Life across the South West. If you are a learner wanting to find out about courses in your area, a teacher looking for careers advice or an employer needing staff training you’ve come to the right place.
The Skills for Life Unit is co-ordinating the regional Skills for Life strategy to ensure the South West’s needs in Skills for Life are met. Learners, providers, partners and employers are all part of the jigsaw which delivers Skills for Life in the region. For information and advice, click on the jigsaw.
Skills for Life is all about improving adult literacy, language and numeracy skills. Raising standards in basic skills, including reading and writing, speaking and listening, and maths, will enable people across the South West to achieve their potential at work, and within their community, helping to build a vibrant and prosperous economy.

GET ON CAMPAIGN TO PROMOTE NUMERACY
By now you may have seen the TV and press advertisements, and heard the radio advertisements, from the latest phase of the Get On campaign focusing mainly on numeracy. This is being delivered by the LSC in conjunction with DIUS. Response to the campaign has been excellent so far and we are receiving lots of good feedback. Please let us know what you think. You can get involved and order free promotional materials by going to the stakeholder resources section of the website: www.direct.gov.uk/geton. Free DVDs are available to encourage potential learners to enrol on courses.
