Literacy is much more than just reading, writing and math skills.
Literacy is a means of identifying, understanding, interpreting, creating and communicating in our digital, information-rich and fast-changing world. (adapted from UNESCO, n.d.)
Literacy is “understanding, evaluating, using and engaging with written texts to participate in society, to achieve one’s goals, and to develop one’s knowledge and potential”. (OECD, 2016. The Survey of Adult Skills)
The Skills for Success (SFS) initiatives will support ongoing Get SET program development objectives by building capacity across cultural streams and delivery sectors; strengthening Get SET employment and apprenticeship outcomes, integrating Get SET services into the broader workforce development system; and enhancing and expanding blended and fully distance learning opportunities.
