EMPLOYEES at Swin-don Council's Enterprise Works are to be rewarded for their literacy and numeracy skills next week.

A total of 31 employees are to receive certificates under the Basic Skills Programme, provided by Swindon College with funding from Free2learn.

Representatives from the college assessed the current skills level of workers.

Swindon College delivered a programme at Enterprise Works in Gypsy Lane during work hours for four days a week, for 15 weeks.

John Short, director of Swindon Services, said: "Enterprise Works has shown its worth within this council, and it is another success for the department."
