Multiply
New free courses to support number skills and boost maths confidence.
Numeracy is a vital skill and the £5.9m Multiply programme has been set up to boost the maths
abilities and confidence of adults in Northern Ireland.
The Department for the
Economy NI is leading on the delivery of the Multiply programme. The programme will support the
Economic Vision of a regionally balanced economy, with good jobs and increased productivity,
which delivers on decarbonisation.
This project is funded by the UK government
through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
Improving number confidence widens
opportunities for further training and employment. SERC is delivering three strands of the
Multiply programme, that are tailored to specific needs and learning pathways.
