Setting up an effective programme to improve core skills and address workplace literacy issues is achievable and manageable. In fact, more and more employers are implementing training with successful results.
Literacy needs can be met in different ways and support is widely available to assist in implementing improvements in your workplace.
Options include training programmes run by training providers, programmes developed and delivered in-house or other activities to boost employees' skills or overcome barriers.
To maximise effectiveness, the best training is business-focused and based around the specific needs of your workplace:
- programme content is based on actual workplace documents and activities
- training is done in work time, on site
- employees are trained one-on-one or in small groups.
This website can help you find the support and training that’s right for your business.
