Learning Support

Specialised support to help you succeed

We understand everyone learns differently, which is why EarnLearn provides free, specialised learning support services to all apprentices and employers with learning or neurodiversity differences – helping build the skills and confidence to succeed in their training.

We’re here to help you through your training

If you need advice about your training, study, finances, or anything to do with your apprenticeship, let us know. We can organise some help to keep you working towards your goal.

Areas our learner support team may be able to help

Language

At EarnLearn, we know that people come into apprenticeships with all kinds of life experiences.

You might have grown up speaking a different language, come through alternative schooling, have a different culture to your workplace or simply learn best in your own way.

Whatever challenges you’re facing, we can support you to stay on track and succeed.

Support we offer:

Online learning resources
One-on-one mentoring
Additional time for assessments & exams (where possible)

Literacy & numeracy difficulty

Part of EarnLearn’s job is to provide support to apprentices with learning differences.

Whether it’s reading, writing or maths, understanding the training materials, or juggling work and study, EarnLearn can work with you to help overcome challenges you’re facing.

We check in every 8 weeks to make sure things are on track and can help troubleshoot when something’s not clicking.

Support we offer:

Online literacy and numeracy assessments
Guidance to online resources
Literacy and numeracy support
One-on-one support if needed

Neurodiversity

If you’re neurodivergent (for example, you have ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or another learning difference), we’re here to make sure you feel supported and understood.
We’ll work with you, your employer, and your training provider to make adjustments that help you succeed.
Support we offer:
- Guidance on how to access reasonable adjustments
- Help communicating your needs to your employer or tutor
- Resources and learning strategies tailored to how you learn best
- Regular 8-week check-ins to see how you’re tracking
- Support with things like focus, organisation, or managing overwhelm

Ensuring you have all the tools
you need to succeed

Part of EarnLearn’s job is to provide support to apprentices with learning differences. We also help employers support their employees who learn differently.

Developing your literacy and numeracy skills will not only benefit you at work but also help you in many other everyday tasks. This will help you:

Helping your employees thrive

Many New Zealanders don’t have the literacy or numeracy skills to fully engage in their jobs, at home, and in their communities. Some of these people may even be in your workplace.

Higher literacy and numeracy levels mean better communication with customers and colleagues, more efficient handling of tasks, and the confidence to contribute more to your business and New Zealand’s economy.

Dyslexia support

With 1 in 10 kiwis being dyslexic, we understand the importance of supporting individuals that may struggle with learning difficulties.

Our brochure, Dyslexia in the Workplace, provides useful strategies to help you support your dyslexic employees to thrive and succeed.
