Language, Literacy, Numeracy Support

The Language, Literacy & Numeracy Programme seeks to improve clients’ language, literacy and/or numeracy with the expectation that such improvements will enable them to participate more effectively in training or in the labour force and lead to greater gains for society in the longer term.

Key Features of the Programme

The Programme provides high-quality, flexible training to eligible clients and caters for the increasing demand for English language training as well as the continuing need for literacy and numeracy training and vocationally-oriented training. Training is normally delivered face-to-face although a small proportion of training is delivered by distance-mode. Clients are placed in the appropriate stream of training with the appropriate training focus following a face-to-face or distance-mode pre-training assessment of language, literacy and numeracy competencies.

Language, literacy and/or numeracy training delivered under the Programme may be vocationally contextualised within each stream of training.

Around Australia, registered training organisations have been contracted to deliver assessment and training services under the LLNP. These include community organisations, TAFEs, private providers, and universities.

Central Gippsland Institute of TAFE is a contracted supplier of teaching and assessment services under the Language, Literacy and Numeracy Programme funded by DEEW.
