Work-based learning events
During March we held three national events to introduce the new 'Functional Skills in Work-Based Learning' publication. These events introduced the publication and provided opportunities for practitioners to discuss their experiences in delivering functional skills and build up a work-based learning network. People found the opportunity to network with their peers particularly helpful. 
Development project materials - coming soon
The Functional Skills Support Programme enabled 27 providers from all sectors and regions to support work in developing functional skills delivery. Each project was tasked with producing resources that would aid the sector in delivering functional skills from September 2010.
