DfE launches ‘Skills Toolkit’ to signpost to free online courses

The Department for Education has launched a web page that signposts people to free courses that can develop their digital and numeracy skills during lockdown. 

Thirteen free courses are available through a new online platform hosted on the gov.uk website, called The Skills Toolkit. The new platform gives people access to free, high-quality digital skills, literacy and numeracy courses to help build up their skills, progress in work and boost their job prospects.  

The courses go from foundation level upwards and are provided by organisations including the Good Things Foundation, Lloyds Bank, the Open University, FutureLearn, Cisco and Google.
