This is according to the report released today, 'No More Excuses', which is calling for the Council of Australian Governments to develop a national "overarching blueprint for action on language, literacy and numeracy".
Workplaces that employ people with low levels of literacy tend to either:
- Sideline these workers into another area in order to 'mask' the problem.
- Offer assistance for their workforce through training courses.
Edutec Training and Development provides targeted literacy and numeracy training to pinpoint the areas of most concern to a particular industry or job function.
Training includes:
- Information literacy
- Literacy for occupational health and safety
- Literacy for computer based technologies
- Numeracy for specific needs
