The Numeracy Employer Engagement Programme is designed to help pupils in secondary schools recognise the importance of having good numeracy skills in the working world, improving their employability while making them more confident with numbers.
Launching the programme, education minister Huw Lewis said: “Sometimes in the classroom it’s hard for learners to see how what they are learning can be used in the real world. That’s why this new scheme is so important and innovative.
“By having employers work with young people and teachers in the classroom, demonstrating the practical application of maths and numbers through a range of subjects, it will help them realise the importance of having strong numeracy skills in the future.”
