The Language, Literacy and Numeracy Program (LLNP)

The Language, Literacy, and Numeracy Program are very essential in today’s lives because it seeks to improve participant’s language, literacy, and numeracy skills. They are link to every individual’s physical, social and economic security. Enhancing student’s literacy and numeracy skills help them to ensure that they are well- prepared for their study and their future career. The LLN program objective is to provide language, literacy and numeracy assistance to job seekers who, due to low levels of these skills may experience significant disadvantage in finding and sustaining employment. Through improving these skills they can participate more effectively in the labour workforce, gain sustainable employment and providing greater gains for society in the long term. Many people like migrants and international students come to Australia with low level of English, the result of this is they cannot find job easily because majority of the job requires basic skills such as communication skills where you need to have the language literacy. The LLNP reduce barriers for job seekers to employment. 

Contracted Registered Training Organisations including community organisations, private providers, and universities are the ones who will deliver the program including English Language, literacy, and numeracy. Following a Pre-Training Assessment (PTA) which determines the job seekers LLN competences levels, learners are placed in the appropriate stream of learning which can be either:

• Initial Language stream – solely for learners whose first language is not English and who at the time of the PTA, achieve Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) level 1 or below in all ACSF reading and oral communication indicators
• Basic Language, Literacy and Numeracy Stream – focused on consolidating functional LLN skills
• Advanced Language, Literacy, and Numeracy stream – for learners who, at the time of the PTA, generally achieve between ACSF level 3 and 5 in reading, writing and oral communication

Furthermore, The key benefits of Language, Literacy and Numeracy Program is through this program we can assess students English levels and improved ability to assess learner's literacy and numeracy skills, and sustained commitment in mentoring/sharing of teaching experiences to improve instruction and outcomes which all allow them to serve the learners more effectively and efficiently.

I strongly urge the members of the community to support the early language, literacy, and numeracy program for the benefits that it provides the students, the trainers/teachers, and the community itself. We owe it to ourselves to improve the skills of our learners and teachers, and by doing so, improve our nation. There is no better time to start than today.
