The implementation and effectiveness of the inclusion of literacy and numeracy in industry training packages was examined in a case study that focused on the use the horticulture industry training package in South Australia. Data were gathered from the following activities: a literature review; consultations with stakeholders in the package's development or delivery; 5 weeks of observations of the interaction between 1 trainer and 11 trainees; surveys of an unspecified number of selected trainers and the 11 trainees; and 15-minute interviews with 6 trainees, a trainer, and the training package coordinator. The following were among the main findings: (1) although literacy and numeracy information kits have been developed and disseminated by the Australian National Training Authority, use of the kits is not widespread; (2) literacy and numeracy competencies are generally buried in the training packages; (3) poor literacy and numeracy skills may inhibit successful completion of training package units; (4) more articulation arrangements with higher education are needed; and (5) links between trainers, workplace assessors, and worksites must be strengthened to support the intent of the training package model.
