“A lot of those training courses assume a degree of literacy, right? It’s really hard in a modern workplace if you can’t assume a certain degree of literacy within your employee base.” - Tim Reed, President of Business Council of Australia 

Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital (LLND) skills are now recognised as fundamental to improved workforce participation, productivity, and social inclusion. Every workplace task involves reading, writing, speaking, listening, mathematical skills and some form of digital capacity. 

Learners who have limitations in one or more of these core LLND skill areas, will have difficulty participating in training programs and in achieving necessary workplace skills.

The development of relevant LLND skills at the appropriate level should therefore be seen as an integral component of a trainer’s practice, as they need to ensure that LLND skill development occurs, to maximise all learners’ chances of a successful outcome against the training specification requirements. As such, it is important that LLND assessments are designed, developed, and implemented effectively. 

This webinar explores the steps involved in creating new LLND assessments (both generic and contextualised) and deploying them as a tool for identifying learner needs and supporting growth in the development of required LLND skills. 

Key Outcomes: 

• Identify the key steps involved in designing new LLND assessments 
• Review an ideal structure for the creation of LLND assessments 
• Use the Australian Core Skills Framework and Digital Literacy Skills Framework to underpin the development of LLND assessments at different levels
• Identify how to have new LLND assessments validated
• Describe how to implement the LLND assessment process
