This updated professional development resource for trainers and assessors in construction and property services, provides a simple process and basic tools to identify learners who need assistance to develop the core skills required to successfully participate in training. New thinking about literacy has shown that it is more than just reading and writing. There are in fact five ‘core skills’ of learning, reading, writing, oral communication and numeracy. These skills are essential for people to participate in society. Using the process within this guide, you will be able to identify people who need support, and easily integrate that support into your normal training and assessment processes.
