On entry to JGW+, all learners complete a Wales Essential Skills Toolkit (WEST) initial assessment during induction to identify their current literacy, numeracy and digital literacy levels, helping plan appropriate support and progression from the start.

The delivery of Essential Skills is responsive to individual learner needs and takes account of any prior achievement or Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL). Literacy, numeracy and digital skills development is embedded within the engagement and advancement pathway and all JGW+ centres also provide access to a specialised Essential Skills provision. Delivery schedules vary between centres, each location offers opportunities for learners to develop and achieve qualifications in Communication, Application of Number and Digital Literacy, from Entry Level 1 through to Level 2.
