The Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and
Tertiary Education (DIISRTE) through the Language, Literacy and
Numeracy Program (LLNP) is seeking submissions for grant funding to
undertake innovative pilots or demonstration models and/or research
based projects that lead to an enhanced delivery of language,
literacy and numeracy (LLN) training for adults. If you are
interested in increasing the English language, literacy and
numeracy skills of adult Australians, have experience in the field
of adult literacy, or would like to pilot projects that can be
replicated and sustainable then your submission is
welcome.
Themes
The Department is particularly interested in some themes and
projects that target:
- The delivery of LLN training using the National Broadband

consideration engagement and participation issues when:
- Working in Remote and/or regional locations in LLN
delivery;
- Working with Indigenous people;
- Working with Young people and/or early school leavers;
- Developing strategies to overcoming barriers in dealing
with the most vulnerable job seekers;
- Comparison of education levels between the Australian
Core Skills Framework (ACSF) and the International Second Language

The Department recently released a Discussion paper,
Creating a more flexible LLNP in 2013-16, which covers
some of the themes in more detail. The Discussion Paper can be
