Integrate core skills support into training and assessment

This unit describes the skills and knowledge needed to identify core skill demands in nationally recognised training products, and in workplace, learning and assessment context tasks and texts. It involves comparing those identified demands with the core skills of learners and candidates in vocational training and assessment and providing integrated core skill support to address the identified gaps.

The unit applies to vocational education and training (VET) teachers, trainers and assessors who use a range of technical and training competencies to integrate awareness of core skill requirements into their training and assessment. The core skills are described by current authorised Australian foundation skill frameworks. They include digital literacy, learning, reading, writing, oral communication, and numeracy skills.
