This study sought to understand more about how literacy, language, and numeracy (LLN) skills gained in workplace literacy and numeracy courses are developed, utilised, and transferred within workplaces. A literature review on the transfer of workplace learning (Cameron et al, 2010) provided a framing for the analysis of six case studies that were conducted during 2010. These ‘cases’ were a variety of workplaces that offered LLN courses funded by the Workplace Literacy Fund and delivered by external training providers.
