In this section of our web-site you will find information relating to Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN).
Recent surveys have highlighted that 46% of Australians aged between 15 and 64 have literacy levels below the minimum required to function fully in life and at work. The statistics are worse for numeracy levels. This has a huge impact on Australian businesses, on the economy and individuals. CPSISC are encouraging increased participation in workplace training to address low levels of LLN.
The following sections outline further information on Workplace English, Langauage and Literacy (WELL).
