Pre-traineeship Maths and Literacy for Retail is a write-in workbook that helps to prepare students seeking to gain a Retail Traineeship. It combines practical, real-world scenarios and terminology specifically relevant to the Retail Industry, and provides students with the mathematical skills they need to confidently pursue a career in the Retail Trade.

Mirroring the format of current apprenticeship entry assessments, Pre-traineeship Maths and Literacy for Retail includes hundreds of questions to improve students’ potential of gaining a successful assessment outcome of 75-80% and above. This workbook will therefore help to increase students’ eligibility to obtain a Retail Traineeship.

Pre-traineeship Maths and Literacy for Retail also supports and consolidates concepts that students studying VET (Vocational Educational Training) may use, as a number of VCE VET programs are also approved pre-traineeships. This workbook is also a valuable resource for older students aiming to revisit basic literacy and maths in their preparation to re-enter the workforce at the apprenticeship level.

*The cover shown includes updated branding and may be different to the book available for purchase.

Features:

  • Graduated difficulty - the workbook is divided into units that gradually increase in length, content and difficulty. Use them throughout the course, not just before the actual assessment
  • No teacher preparation is required - students can write directly into the workbook, and can then later use them for revision
  • Real-life scenarios and terminology used - helps motivate students and makes the content specifically relevant to the students’ chosen trade
  • Comprehensive practice questions - includes hundreds of questions
  • Bonus practice detachable test included - produced on perforated paper, they allow for easy tear out
  • Calculator-free - these workbooks have been designed to mirror current apprenticeship entry assessments and encourage students to attempt all questions without using a calculator
  • Great value - designed and priced to be used by each individual student
  • CD content includes animated worked examples to promote self-paced
  • The solutions CD contains bonus step-by-step instructions and activities on how to use Google’s 3D SketchUp drawing and modelling software.
