Skilling Indigenous Australia: Effective numeracy learning for employment by regional and remote Indigenous students in vocational education and training courses

土著职业教育和培训认证水平的提高将使土著能够融入当地劳动力市场，目前当地劳动力市场在教育、卫生、建筑和采矿方面正面临技能短缺。这将减少对福利的依赖和对干预计划的需求，进而改善澳大利亚的经济活动。这个项目是学校、TAFE和服务于偏远地区的行业代表之间的一次重要合作，旨在发展一种关于有效计算教学的理论。这一理论框架将为职业教育和培训教师和监督员提供战略，以促进土著学生以文化赋权、建立自豪感和维持社区联系的方式学习算术。

Increasing levels of Indigenous VET certification will enable Indigenous inclusion in local labour markets, which are currently experiencing skills shortages in education, health, construction and mining. This will reduce welfare dependence and the need for intervention programs, in turn improving Australia's economic activity. This project is a significant collaboration between schools, TAFEs and Industry representatives that service remote areas, which aims to develop a theory about effective numeracy instruction. This theoretical framework will provide strategies for VET teachers and supervisors to facilitate Indigenous student's numeracy learning in a manner that is culturally empowering, builds pride and sustains community linkages.
