Language, Literacy and Numeracy Program

Mission Australia's Language, Literacy and Numeracy Program provides training to increase skills in speaking, listening, reading, writing and maths. 

Our aim is to help remove one of the major barriers to employment and to make life easier for your client. All our courses are available at no cost and are supplied by Mission Australia.

Who might benefit?

• Clients for whom English is a second language.
• Those who request help to improve their language, literacy or numeracy skills.
• Early school leavers, or those with a record of interrupted schooling or underachievement.
• Clients who have difficulty completing forms or interpreting written instructions.
• Clients who frequently miss meetings, or get the time wrong, and who don't seem to receive letters requesting their attendance.
• English as a second language clients must have attended the Adult Migrant Education Program. 
• Remember that your client may not recognise their need or may be reluctant to ask for help.

How long does the training take?
The length of training depends on your personal needs. Training is delivered in 200 hour blocks and you can choose to attend for 10 to 20 hours per week.  To enrol in further training, just talk to our staff.
