Print this page TAELLN422 - Use foundation skills resources, strategies and advice

This unit describes the skills and knowledge needed to access and integrate foundation skills resources, strategies and advice in vocational training and assessment. The unit applies to vocational education and training (VET) teachers, trainers and assessors who use a range of technical and training competencies to support the foundation skill needs of learners and candidates in vocational training and assessment. Foundation skills include the core skills and employability skills described by current authorised Australian foundation skill frameworks. Core skills include digital literacy, learning, reading, writing, oral communication, and numeracy skills. Employability skills include skills such as initiative and enterprise, planning and organising, problem solving, self-management, and teamwork. This unit does not include the competencies used by experienced VET teachers, trainers and assessors to lead the development of foundation skill support. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. All assignments are completed online making it easy and portable to keep track of where you are up to.
