Language, Literacy and Numeracy Program (LLNP)
This program is for people whose English language or reading, writing or maths skills are making it difficult for them to find a job.
If your speaking, reading, writing, study and jobseeking skills are making it difficult for you to find work go to Centrelink or Job Network and ask about free training in the Language, Literacy and Numeracy Program (LLNP).
Benefits of the training
LLNP training is about helping you get the skills you need to get a job. It can:
- improve your spoken and written English language skills
- improve your reading, writing and maths skills
- help you with using a computer
- make it easier for you to get and keep a job
- give you the confidence and skills to do some further study.
In your everyday life LLNP training will also help you with such things as writing letters, filling in forms and reading to your child.
You can still look for work while you are training. To be able to do the training you must be:
- 15 to 64 years of age; and
- registered as a jobseeker with Centrelink and not a full-time student.
You must also satisfy eligibility criteria relating to income support and visa status.
If you are interested in this training, Centrelink can check if you are eligible and refer you to your local College of TAFE NSW - Western Institute. Your local TAFE will help you find out what you need to learn and how to go about it.
