This information relates to Employer-led Workplace Literacy and Numeracy funding. For information about TEO-led WLN funding, see TEO-led Workplace Literacy and Numeracy Fund.
EWLN Fund funding helps employers to:
provide high-quality literacy and numeracy programmes that are customised for their workplace,
address productivity problems due to employees’ literacy and numeracy skill levels,
raise adults’ literacy and numeracy skills,
increase opportunities for adults to engage in literacy and numeracy learning, particularly those in low-skilled employment, and
improve the quality and relevance of provision, including the ability to identify learner need and learning gain.
From research, employer reports and direct employer engagement, we know that high-quality literacy and numeracy provision in the workplace has positive effects for employers, employees and their families.
EWLN programmes are aimed at employees who have low literacy and/or numeracy skills and/or English as a second language. High-quality programmes can include:
describing the workplace issues, how these impact on productivity and how the impact is measured,
outlining the programme content and how it will address and improve the workplace issues,
assessing each learner’s literacy and numeracy skills at the start of the programme using the online adaptive option of the Literacy and Numeracy for Adults Assessment Tool (LNAAT), and
understanding and reporting on individual outcomes for employees that contribute to a higher-performing workplace.

“It’s going to be an interesting time ahead, with a lot of challenges and opportunities for our sector, so that’s pretty exciting. I think we have a great balance at EIT, with existing executives who have been in their roles for a while, and a few newcomers.”

“I’m really looking forward to contributing to strategic planning as we navigate the path forward for tertiary and vocational education in our region.”

EIT’s Executive Director, Kieran Hewitson, welcomed Dr van Dulm to the team.

“Ondene has played an important role in the establishment of Te Pūkenga and now she will bring that expertise to EIT as we go forward.”
