Key Skills Support Programme
|
Key Skills are an interrelating set of transferable skills underpinning both study and employability. They are recognised and accredited in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Key Skills play a major role in raising the standards for learning in Wales. They are becoming increasingly popular as demonstrated by the increased number of Key Skills Awards in Wales since they were introduced in 2000.

| Converged Basic and Key Skills Initiative in Wales |
|
|
|
| Wednesday, 08 August 2007 | |
| Work is currently underway by DCELLS to develop a new suite of converged literacy/communication, numeracy/application of number and basic/key ICT skills for Entry 1 - Level 2. These new standards will replace the current basic and key skills standards for these skills in 2010. The current wider key skills as well as the higher level key skills standards will remain in effect. Once the new standards are agreed, work will begin on developing qualifications to support the new standards as well as a new support programme for providing training and resources to underpin the converged skills initiative.
