Which training focuses on foundational reading, writing, or math skills?

• A. Orientation
• B. Awareness Training
• C. Basic Skills Training
• D. Skill Development

Answer: (C)

Foundational literacy and numeracy are the base skills needed to perform almost any task. Basic Skills Training targets those core abilities—reading, writing, and math—so employees can understand instructions, communicate effectively, and complete calculations needed for daily work. This makes it the best fit for refining foundational competencies before moving on to more complex, job-specific training.

The other options address different aims: orientation introduces the workplace and its policies; awareness training focuses on safety or compliance awareness; and skill development builds specific job-related abilities beyond the basics.
