Purpose
The purpose of the Workplace Literacy fund is to increase the literacy, language and numeracy skills of employees, linked to workplace requirements.
Initiatives funded through Workplace Literacy should:
- support high-quality literacy, language and numeracy learning that is tailored to the needs of the workplace and other industry training
- have mechanisms to report on learners' progress in improving literacy, language and numeracy skills (this will include the use of the Literacy and Numeracy for Adults Assessment Tool which must be used from 2011)
- demonstrate a partnership approach with employers, providers and industry training organisations
- be innovative in addressing the literacy, language and numeracy issues faced by businesses.
