This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to research, analyse, develop, lead and implement a strategy to support adult language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) skill development in a community program.

It applies to adult language, literacy and numeracy practitioners who support the programs offered by community organisations by identifying underpinning skills needed for successful completion of courses, developing strategies to support course delivery, identifying language, literacy and numeracy barriers to participation, and developing strategies to assist individuals to achieve their personal goals through building their underpinning skills.

Community programs may seek to create awareness of a community or personal issue, such as health literacy or financial literacy, and to change behaviour in relation to it. Community programs may also teach skill development in non-vocational areas, such as basic computing, personal budgeting or cooking.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
