For the love of Maths
Love it or hate it, mathematics is an integral part of our day-to-day lives. Whether it’s managing finances, mastering time or making measurements – basic maths knowledge is indispensable.
The insightful discussion took place on Valentine’s Day, featuring Tom alongside industry experts, shedding light on the Group’s Multiply project.
Fully-funded initiative, supported by the Department for Education under the Unlock your Potential, Skills for Life campaign, aims to empower adults with the confidence to work with numbers effectively in the workplace.
The discussion delved into the benefits of possessing good numeracy skills and emphasised the need for upskilling the local workforce.
