The Transfer of Literacy, Language, and Numeracy Skills from Learning Programmes into the Workplace

This study sought to understand more about how literacy, language, and numeracy (LLN) skills gained in workplace literacy and numeracy courses are developed, utilised, and transferred within workplaces. A literature review on the transfer of workplace learning (Cameron et al, 2010) provided a framing for the analysis of six case studies that were conducted during 2010. These ‘cases’ were a variety of workplaces that offered LLN courses funded by the Workplace Literacy Fund and delivered by external training providers.
