Multiply – the Multiply programme has been established by the government to support adult numeracy skills and this will include a range of support across Essex, Southend and Thurrock.
This includes everything from supporting children with homework to managing money and boosting work-based skills. Programmes are just commencing and support will run for three years.

Essex Careers Magazine – coming soon!
The soon to be published Essex Skills Plan highlighted the lack of awareness of key sectors in Essex and the opportunities within them.
This has led to the development of an all-age Essex Careers magazine which will showcase local sectors, employers, providers, colleges, support and opportunities.
The first edition will be published by February 2023 and will include a spotlight on construction. The magazine will be available as a reference copy in libraries, Job Centres, colleges and schools and will also be available digitally via www.essexopportunities.co.uk
