Empowering Numeracy Skills: CXK Launches “Making it Add Up!” Programme

18th April 2024

CXK is proud to announce its launch of Making it Add Up!, a numeracy programme that will equip individuals without a Level 2 maths qualification with essential mathematical skills and confidence.

Making it Add Up! is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and is free to attend.

The programme is being delivered in Margate and Ashford, and is available to individuals aged 19 and over, with the first programme starting in April 2024. Each 12 hour course will take place over 3 consecutive days, providing a flexible and engaging learning environment where participants benefit from various numeracy activities, that support with practical daily tasks such as household budgeting, and understanding payslips etc. These activities are complemented with positive personal development support and sessions to develop career aspirations and opportunities, empowering participants to build their numeracy skills and identify their next steps with confidence.

Lizzie Gregory, Area Manager for the programme, said, “Drawing upon our extensive track record of delivering personalised support to individuals of all ages, Making it Add Up! reflects CXK’s ongoing dedication to empowering individuals on their educational and professional paths. We understand the transformative power of numeracy skills in today’s world, and Making it Add Up! is designed to equip participants with the essential competencies and confidence that they need to break down their barriers to progressing in the workplace.”
