Skills Factory
Drive your business forward by unleashing the potential of your staff 
Are you really tapping in to the full potential of your staff?
Or are numeracy and literacy shortcomings holding them and your company back?
15 million adults in the UK struggle with basic calculations and many also have functional literacy problems - so it would be unusual if your company did not have productivity issues as a result of similar problems.
Everyday issues such as:
- Taking routine readings from gauges and dials
- Weighing materials
- Checking amounts of stock
- Recognising and understanding hazard warnings
- Following Standard Operating Procedures or Work Instructions
Skills Factory offers a new approach to literacy and numeracy
– setting these skills in a manufacturing context so they are relevant to your business and your staff.
So instead of looking at the theory of algebra, we could be looking at the space required to stock 600 tins of paint or how to produce a report on a machine fault.
