Counting down to the first free Multiply numeracy course for adults!

Applications are open for the first free numeracy course in Orkney to be delivered by The Learning Link through Multiply – a new programme aimed at transforming the lives of adults by improving numeracy skills.

The Numeracy National 4 course starts on Monday 12 June at The Learning Link, 2 St Rognvald Street, Kirkwall, and runs over eight sessions until 31 July on Mondays from 12.30pm-2.30pm.

To register for a place contact Kate Wilden, Adult Learning Support Worker and course tutor at The Learning Link via thelearninglinkenquiries@orkney.gov.uk (01856) 879200 (answering machine) or 07721 579753 by Monday 5 June 2023.

Whilst this course is aimed at anyone aged 19 and over, if there are specific people in the 16-19 age bracket who are keen to progress their learning, then The Learning Link can help in other ways.

The Learning Link – the Council’s Community Learning Development & Employability (CLDE) dedicated adult learning centre - launched Multiply in Orkney earlier this month alongside Orkney College UHI and Voluntary Action Orkney.

The Learning Link received £306,379 from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund for a three-year programme to deliver the Multiply programme.
