National Foundation Skills Strategy for Adults
Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) welcomed the opportunity to respond to the Consultation Paper for the National Foundation Skills Strategy (NFSS) for Adults. It is our view that a national strategy in this area is long overdue and we have been calling for a National Workforce Literacy Strategy since 2008. The need for a national strategy is derived from our own research together with the results of the Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey.
