The Workplace English Language and Literacy (WELL) program provides funding for the development of resources and strategic projects to support the development of adult English language, literacy and numeracy skills aligned to accredited training packages and units of competency. WELL resources that have been developed include assessment tools, companion documents supporting the delivery of units of competency, and online and interactive learning modules. Many target Indigenous or culturally and linguistically diverse learners. WELL resources have been developed across all industries and several have received awards for best practice in resource design. A list of these resources and information about how to access them is available on the **LiteracyNet website**. The biannual e-newsletter, Doing WELL with WELL resources, alerts subscribers to newly completed WELL resources. If you would like to receive this newsletter, please send an email to the **LiteracyNet website** with your contact details.
