This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of the Adult Skills Team who deliver programmes to support individuals with skills training across West Yorkshire. This opportunity involves being part of the Adult Skills team, and in the first instance working with the Multiply Team and be at the forefront of a programme focussed on innovation in training, removing barriers and negative attitudes to numeracy and increasing maths confidence for the adults of West Yorkshire.
It is an exciting time to be joining the Mayoral Combined Authority. We have a wide variety of exciting projects that we are working on which will help shape the West Yorkshire region.
In 2021 the £1.8bn devolution deal was secured for West Yorkshire. This meant the first Mayor of West Yorkshire was subsequently elected, with Tracy Brabin taking up post in May 2021. The devolution deal and election of the Mayor has enabled us to start to drive up living standards for local communities while tackling the climate emergency and helping to deliver our commitment to become a net zero carbon city region by 203
