• WHAT – Improve the financial literacy, education, employability and digital skills of people impacted by welfare reform. • HOW - Deliver 18 group workshops and up to 20 one to one training sessions as required at our office in Lairg and at outreach locations in East & Central Sutherland. 6 workshops in financial literacy covering the following topics: Basic maths, budgeting, setting financial goals, setting up a bank account or setting up online access to existing accounts, understanding income and outgoings. 6 workshops in employability covering the following topics: Creating and updating a CV, writing a job application, applying for jobs, developing skills for self-employment (referral to business mentor project, Business gateway), support with creating and updating a CV, using Microsoft Office packages, reviewing their online presence & social media presence through the eyes of an employer, basic English 6 workshops in digital skills covering the following topics: Using a computer or electronic device, accessing online banking, accessing benefit journal, using excel to manage a budget, using an app to manage a budget, applying for jobs online, online learning opportunities, using Microsoft Office packages As an SQA approved centre we are able to offer a qualification Core Skills and will offer this to project participants. Overall it is expected that 50 people will engage with the project through attending a group workshop or one-to-one session. Partners and their role: East & Central Sutherland Citizens Advice Bureau will raise awareness of the project to their clients, in particular those attending the bureau for their debt service and their Money Talk Team, and will offer direct referrals to the project. Brora Learning Zone has partnered with us on numerous projects and classes, most recently being a major partner for our Climate Challenge Fund project. We will offer sessions and courses in their facility and they will support us with referrals and promotion of the project. Job Centre Plus (Invergordon and Wick) work with us to support people impacted by welfare reform through accessing training and learning opportunities and this project will allow us to build our partnership with the JCPs and to receive direct referrals in for support. Clearview 2020 is an employability service which covers Caithness and part of Sutherland. We refer some of our employability students to them and they do the same for us. Through this project we will strengthen our partnership by being able to offer more for students in the Central & East Sutherland areas and will receive referrals into the project both for group sessions and on-to-one training. WHY - East & Central Sutherland, and in particular Lairg and the surrounding areas, are rural and isolated and the communities have suffered through poor public transport links, poor internet speeds, lack of long term employment opportunities, closure of all banks except for one and other issues which have a major impact on our rural communities. Sutherland does not have a Job Centre Plus, the nearest being in neighbouring counties Caithness and Ross-shire, and also does not have a dedicated foodbank, which further impacts those who have been negatively impacted by welfare reform. The project idea has been shaped through requests from current students, members of the community and partners for workshops and one to one support in various different areas, particularly relating to managing budgets, using IT for employability or benefit maintenance and confidence building. Learning from this project will be used to shape a funding application to the Bank of Scotland Foundation which will enable the project to both continue and expand to support a greater number of people. The organisation used to receive funding to run a weekly job club but this funding was cut. We continue to run it on a voluntary basis but with no paid staff to cover it we are unable to advertise it or to support people on a drop in basis. The project would enable us to build on the weekly work club with regular, tailored support for people impacted by welfare reform. • WHO – the project will be open to anyone who requires support with financial literacy, employability or digital skills and has been impacted by welfare reform. By working with partners we will reach these people. • WHERE – the project will be delivered from our office based in Lairg and will cover areas in East & Central Sutherland.

The Tomorrow’s Tutors project will be delivered by Lairg Learning Centre and will seek to embed digital across their varied class timetable by training tutors in all subject areas in how digital can enhance their learning offer – be that gardening, patchwork, cake baking, or basic literacy. Improving tutor skills will then allow them to support learners in digital at their point of passion. The aim is to develop tutor understanding of digital inclusion, and to look at key basic digital skills and how to embed them. They will offer a series of four workshops for tutors, enthusing them about how digital can enhance their teaching, encouraging each tutor to explore the wide range of online opportunities and create a basic resource for learners to enhance their engagement with their learning. They will also support tutors in enhancing their own digital skills and create peer sharing opportunities.
