In a nutshell…keep doing what you do​

In partnership with your development worker:​

• Support learners with their financial literacy, budgeting skills, maths​
• Ensure learners know what their starting points are and give them the opportunity to reflect on and record their learning, progress and next ​steps​
• Talk about progression and next steps from the start of the course and not just at the end
