The 2013 National Adult Language Literacy and Numeracy Assessment Conference will address the theme of ‘Building on evidence to improve skills’ through a series of pre-conference workshops, informative keynote presentations and an extensive range of breakout sessions.

We invite all delegates to attend the conference opening and keynote address on the evening of Thursday, 9 May for an opportunity to engage and network with peers in the VET sector.

The presentations and discussions from this second national conference will make a major contribution to the state and national debate on key issues related to adult language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) education and training.

“It was great to see so many delegates at the adult LLN 2012 ACER Conference. It is a real indication of the interest in addressing LLN skills across industry, higher education and vocational education. I gained a great deal of knowledge from the key note speakers and workshops and look forward attending the next one.”

More than match stats: Language, literacy and numeracy workshops for VET practitioners
Tuesday, 15th May 2012

There was plenty going on in the AFL in April, including a two-day ACER workshop for Player Development Regional Managers from the AFL Players Association to better understand the impact of language, literacy and numeracy skills on players’ capacity to learn. With the workshop so well received and the May National Adult Language, Literacy and Numeracy Assessment Conference sold out, ACER is running a series of programs in Melbourne from July for vocational education and training practitioners.
