About this webinar:

As a vocational trainer or training manager, you play a crucial role in the lives of the people you train.  

Foundation skills are fundamental to a person's participation in the workplace, the community and in education and training. They are a combination of language, literacy and numeracy (LLNDE) skills and employability skills. So, how can we maximise our training to help develop strong foundation skills in our students?

In this interactive session with Chemène Sinson, you will discover how a focus on foundation skills can improve training outcomes and equip your learners for today’s constantly evolving world of work.

Chemène will demystify some of the jargon surrounding LLN and foundation skills, and help you identify practical ways to build learners’ foundation skills through your training.

Key topics covered within the webinar

  • What foundation skills are and why they are important for vocational trainers
  • De-mystify language of LLNDE and foundation skills
  • Practical ways to build foundation skills through training.
