Business L&N
Working or doing business in English involves literacy & numeracy skills. Every industry and job has its own language, processes and skillsets. New roles can need us to discover new ways to speak, write or work in teams. With over 30 years’ experience in marketing, strategy, admin and self-employment, ALNS helps people do this.
You can achieve as a job seeker, student, recruit, employee, manager or business owner. Having decided to grow vocationally, it’s ‘just’ a matter of doing the work. Sessions in literacy & numeracy for work are best when focused on real tasks. This ensures your learning meets the needs of your industry and job.
Working with real tasks and scenarios reinforces learning. Every student and employer has specific needs and goals. These are identified at our first session and confirmed before sessions start. ALNS can work with you on short-, medium- or long-term programs.
Depending on the brief, ALNS can mentor your employees face-to-face or online. Click here to get in contact or call the Reading Writing Hotline on 1300 655 506 to find services near you.
