Workplace literacy & numeracy services

Literacy is the foundation for many of the tasks performed in the workplace. Literacy isn’t just ‘reading, writing and arithmetic’ – it also includes interpersonal skills such as speaking and listening, critical thinking, problem solving, taking initiative and teamwork.

Company productivity can even be adversely affected by experienced workers if they can’t use a computer, write reports, or fill out budget projection sheets accurately.  Venture Group identifies actual skills needed and addresses these gaps. Because the programme is individualised, the training lifts the skill-set of individual employees, as well as the company’s productivity. Literacy and numeracy training is an investment in your business, not a cost.

Venture Group’s work on literacy and numeracy includes:

• workplace based literacy, language and numeracy
• ESOL training
• pre-employment literacy and numeracy
• workplace communication
• literacy strategies

Our specialty area is workplace focused literacy, which means we work with companies to lift productivity through developing the literacy and numeracy skills of employees in the workplace.

A company wanting to increase productivity, innovate and meet ever-changing customer and market demands needs staff to have strong literacy and numeracy skills. Ensuring your people have the level of literacy and numeracy skills required to perform their work is the same as maintaining your equipment, doing health and safety checks, and having a quality assurance system.
