Addressing language, literacy and numeracy in the resources and infrastructure industry
This resource is a guide for teachers, trainers and assessors who deliver training from the RII09 Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package. It focuses on how to develop the language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) skills required for work in the five sectors within the resources and infrastructure industry: coal mining, metalliferous mining, drilling, quarrying and civil construction.
The resource provides practical advice and tools to assist trainers to develop core LLN skills that are integral to technical skill development in the resources and infrastructure industry. The guide has three main parts.
Part 1: What are core LLN skills?
This first section covers the concept of core LLN skills, the LLN benchmarking tool, how to go about assessing LLN, and how to find LLN in training documentation and the workplace.
Part 2: Developing core LLN skills
This section is organised around the five core skills and includes examples of activities that can be used to strengthen learners’ core LLN skills. The activities incorporate examples from the resources and infrastructure industry, which could be contextualised for any sector.
Part 3: What will help?
This section lists useful support resources
