Support for apprentices

According to a recent study, one in five New Zealand adults find everyday tasks such as reading and writing challenging. Part of the role of EarnLearn | Te Pūkenga is to provide support to apprentices with different learning styles, ensuring they have the literacy and numeracy skills to fully engage in their jobs, at home, and in their communities.

Some learners have solid practical skills but find the reading and writing tasks hard. Growing their literacy and numeracy skills will not only help them at work, but will also help them with many other tasks they have to do in everyday life. Higher literacy and numeracy levels mean better communication with customers and colleagues, more efficient handling of tasks, and the confidence to contribute more to their place of work and their community.

EarnLearn has a dedicated team that can support learners with literacy, numeracy, or other areas of learning. Online literacy and numeracy assessments help identify any potential learning needs so the right level of support can be provided. Depending on individual needs, this could be free online resources, or specialised learning support through one-on-one sessions or as part of a wider programme. The aim is to make sure a learner’s voice is heard and help them with the tools they need to stay on top of their learning.

Aligning with the wider Te Pūkenga network, EarnLearn is focused on Pastoral Care. They are working together to bring additional benefits for all learners so that everyone has the skills and confidence to make the most of their training.

If you think your apprentices could benefit from some extra support with their learning, please give your EarnLearn Account Manager a call.
