2025 June – ‘First Nations and migrant learners’ experiences with foundation skills courses’

Adult ESOL Sector News: New publication released 

 

First Nations and migrant learners’ experiences with foundation skills courses was released by NCVER last Thursday.

This research uniquely amplifies the voices of First Nations and migrant learners who have disengaged from foundation skills courses. By understanding their goals, experiences, and recommendations, ways to better support their completion are identified. The research explores how these learners first encountered the courses, their motivations for enrolling, the supports available, and the barriers they continue to face. Participants directly shared their training experiences and suggested improvements, offering valuable insights to enhance the effectiveness of foundation skills programs.
