Abstract	The implementation of the Australian national training package for hospitality occupations in Tasmania and the effects of inclusion of literacy and numeracy competencies in the training package were examined in a case study. Data were gathered through a literature review, analysis of the hospitality training package, workplace data, and discussions and interviews with seven trainers, three representatives of the adult literacy sector and one executive officer from each of the following agencies: Tasmanian Community, Property and Health Services Industry Training Board, Inc.; Tasmanian Tourism and Hospitality Industry Training Board; and Office of Vocational Education and Training. Major findings included the following: (1) trainers have had insufficient time to address the major shift from curriculum-based to training package-based training; (2) no major changes have occurred in training delivery to regional and rural trainees or in assessment modes; (3) strategies for dealing with language, literacy, and numeracy have not been an initial priority with trainers; and (4) the training package's dominant discourse derives from the context of vocational education and training. (The bibliography lists 34 references. An examination of literacy and numeracy competencies in the training package's units and a discourse analysis of the five core units are appended.) (MN)
