The Workplace Literacy fund is an on-Plan fund from 2011 and is agreed through the Investment Plan process.
However, employers receiving this funding will continue to be exempt from the requirement to submit a proposed Investment Plan.
The Workplace Literacy fund provides support for employees to increase their literacy, language and numeracy skills linked to workplace requirements.
The Workplace Literacy fund also provides for Employee-targeted programmes that are flexible and targeted to individual employees not connected to a specific workplace.
From 2011, funding is agreed through the Investment Plan process for TEO[1]s. Employers will continue to be exempt from the requirement to submit a proposed Investment Plan. Funding for employers will be allocated through a Funding Agreement, and the delivery of activities monitored by us.
Any TEO that receives funding must abide by a number of rules and conditions.
Access to Workplace Literacy funding will be considered in accordance with government policy, (as directed by the Minister’s determination under section 159L of the Education Act 1989), the Tertiary Education Strategy and in response to performance.
