LLN scholarships available

Applications are now open for the Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) Practitioner Scholarships Program. 

This program was included in the 'Building the Basics Package' component of the 'Jobs and Training Compact', announced in the 2009-10 Federal Budget.  Its primary objective is to provide an incentive for individuals to enter the adult LLN practitioner field by supporting them to undertake approved study towards an adult LLN practitioner qualification. 

The program is specifically targeted at: 

  • new entrants (individuals with no prior qualifications as teachers or trainers) who wish to gain an adult LLN qualification and enter the field
  • vocational trainers wishing to gain an adult LLN specialisation and enter the field
  • individuals with prior relevant training (e.g. generalist teachers) wishing to 'up-skill' into an adult LLN specialisation with the intention of entering the field.

Indigenous people are also encouraged to apply within each of these categories.

The first application round under the program is now open. Applications are invited from eligible individuals who are interested in undertaking an approved course of study in adult LLN, commencing in the second half of 2010.

Successful scholarship recipients will receive up to $5,250 toward tuition fees and eligible study expenses.

The program guidelines, a link to the online application form and other relevant information is available from www.deewr.gov.au/llnscholarships

Applications must be received by 5.00pm (AEST) on Friday 30 April 2010.
