Overview
Pre-apprenticeship Maths and Literacy helps prepare students seeking to gain an apprenticeship or traineeship. These write-in workbooks combine practical, real-world scenarios and terminology specific to their chosen industry, providing students with the skills they need to confidently pursue a career within that trade. They include hundreds of example assessment questions and also support concepts that students studying VET (Vocational Education and Training) may use.
Pre-apprenticeship Maths and Literacy for Horticulture further 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 and pre-accreditations. This workbook is also a valuable resource for older students aiming to revisit basic literacy and maths in their preparation to re-enter the workforce at the vocational level. Complimentary Nelson Net Resources are available for students.
