Three steps to core skill support: a resource for vocational trainers

This resource has been developed by the Transport and Logistics Industry Skills Council (TLISC) through funding from the Australian government Department of Industry to provide information and advice about integrating support for core skill development into training planning and delivery. The resource will help vocational education and training (VET) trainers in the transport and logistics industry build support into planning and practice for those learners who struggle with the language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) - or core skill - demands of their course. Language, literacy and numeracy skills can make the difference between whether or not someone succeeds in training and at work. These important skills are now called 'core skills' or 'foundation skills', because they are at the core of - or the foundation to - other more specific technical skills. All units of competency in TLISC training packages clearly describe the foundation skills that are essential to performance in the elements and performance criteria of the unit.
