The Importance Of Functional Skills

Navigating the world of work with confidence relies on strong communication, numeracy, and problem-solving abilities – core competencies that Functional Skills help to develop. While Functional Skills qualifications in English and Maths are no longer a mandatory requirement for apprentices aged 19 and over, their value in professional and personal development remains undeniable.

These skills go beyond qualifications; they equip apprentices with the practical abilities needed to think critically, communicate effectively and make informed decisions. Whether engaging in workplace discussions, analysing data or managing resources, a solid foundation in literacy and numeracy enhances job performance and career progression.

For apprentices aged 16-18, functional skills remain a required element of their apprenticeship, reinforcing essential skills early in their careers – and for those aged 19 and over, while no longer compulsory, opting to develop these skills can still be a strategic advantage in today’s competitive job market.
