This is the Workplace Literacy and Numeracy (WLN) Fund, which enables around 7000 employees a year to complete a 25- to 80-hour learning programme, usually in their workplace and during work time. The paper also describes what happens in workplaces while programmes are underway, and the short-term wellbeing, social, and economic outcomes that occur for individual employees. In this context, literacy and numeracy relates to the way in which adults use skills that involve reading, writing, speaking, listening, and mathematics in everyday life. It also includes digital skills in relation to how adults engage and interact with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). These skills are those that individuals need for learning, life, and work in the 21st Century.Anne AlkemaCommonwealth of Learningarticleadult literacy and numeracyworkplace-based learningwellbeingsocial and economic outcomesTheory and practice of educationLB5-3640ENJournal of Learning for Development, Vol 7, Iss 2, Pp 218-232 (2020)
