Skills Programme for Upgrading & Resilience (SPUR)
Workplace Literacy & Numeracy

The continuum is exemplified in the skill level descriptors which provide descriptions which provide descriptions of adults’ general job-related ability in reading, listening, writing, speaking and numeracy. The skills level descriptors explain in general terms what most learners would be able to accomplish at a specified scale score in a specific skill area.
