A WEARSIDE town was chosen to host the launch of a pioneering project to improve numeracy and literacy skills.
The Basic Skills Agency organised a day of workshops, entitled Working Together, at the Forte Posthouse Hotel, Washington, to push the importance of literacy and numeracy training in the workplace to employers.
The project involves a partnership between "brokers" and employers.
