Pre-apprenticeship Maths & Literacy Books/CDROM
OVERVIEW
Pre-apprenticeship Maths and Literacy helps to prepare students who are seeking to gain an apprenticeship or traineeship. These write-in workbooks combine practical, real-world scenarios and terminology specific to their chosen industry, and provide students with the mathematics and literacy skills they need to confidently pursue a career within that trade.
Mirroring the format of current apprenticeship entry assessments, Pre-apprenticeship Maths and Literacy includes hundreds of questions to improve students' potential of gaining a successful assessment outcome of 75-80% and above. These workbooks will therefore help to increase students' eligibility to obtain a trade apprenticeship. Pre-apprenticeship Maths and Literacy also supports and consolidates concepts that students studying VET (Vocational Educational Training) may use, as a number of VCE VET programs are also approved pre-apprenticeships.
The workbooks are also a valuable resource for older students aiming to revisit basic literacy and maths in their preparation to re-enter the workforce at the apprenticeship level.
