This unit can be integrated and contextualised with vocational training to support achievement of vocational competency.
This unit is aligned to, but does not fully address, the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) reading core skill indicators .03 and .04 at pre-level 1 in the workplace and employment domain of communication.
