Projects 2000-01
Project 1 :
Concepts of literacy: The role of WELL; The role of the
Workplace English Language and Literacy program in supporting provision for literacy and
numeracy in training packages.
Pat Millar, University of Tasmania, 2000–2001.
This project of the Tasmanian centre of the Adult Literacy
and Numeracy Australian Research Consortium (ALNARC) investigates the role of the
Workplace English Language and Literacy (WELL) program, administered by the Commonwealth
Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs (DETYA), in supporting provision for
literacy and numeracy in training packages. The study involves investigating underlying
assumptions about resources and delivery, and the extent to which Industry Training
Advisory Bodies (ITABs) and Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) are reliant on WELL
funding to address literacy and numeracy needs.

Project 2:
The Tasmanian ALNARC centre’s second research project
for 2000–2001 aimed to explore the practices of enterprises, trainers and training
advisers, in terms of how they were implementing integrated language, literacy and
numeracy in training packages. The aim was to produce an anthology of case studies from a
range of sectors, including forestry and sawmilling, warehousing, community services, and
VET in schools, and to link these together with an editorial framework designed to provoke
thought and analysis.
