Ideal for Train to Gain and work-based learning!
Target Skills for Work concentrates on the literacy and numeracy skills needed for work, such as basic number skills, reading, writing, speaking and listening, and sets the learning in the appropriate vocational context.

The material is ideal for use by individuals working alone, as well as groups. It is mapped to the adult literacy and numeracy core curricula primarily at Level 1, but with some coverage at Entry 3 and Level 2.

The learning activities address speaking, listening, reading, writing, number and measure. They are designed for a ‘dip-in, dip-out’ approach – each task lasts no more than ten minutes – and for self-learning, without assessment. The tasks are ideal for using at work or during informal training.

Learners and tutors work together to identify the units for individual learners. Once learners have a learning plan, they can work at their own pace, fitting in their learning in short sessions.

The CD-ROM can be accessed in two ways:

• standalone - all CD-ROM resources can be accessed and an end-of-session record generated 
• with the management system - resources can be tailored for the individual; all work is tracked and stored on the web site.
