Planning your Learning at Work Day with Skills for Life

To ensure you plan a successful Learning at Work Day with Skills for Life, you will need to go through all the usual planning steps as well as think about the specific sensitivities that are related to Skills for Life learning.

The Campaign for Learning has produced a downloadable resource pack in association with Asset Skills Sector Skills Council. The 'Skills for Life through Workplace Learning' pack will help you plan activities on Learning at Work Day, or any other day of the year.

The Move On website includes the iRoute. The iRoute is a one-stop platform to support the promotion of English and maths training opportunities through a series of short, interactive online activities.
