You are starting a casual job at a large supermarket. On your first shift you are given a one-page staff notice titled “Front End Updates”. The notice includes phrases such as “Roster on ESS”, “PPE required in dock area”, “clock in via T&A kiosk”, “customer escalation to 2IC”, and “complete the incident in the WHS portal”. The notice is written for staff and uses the supermarket’s usual abbreviations and workplace terms.

In Unit 3 of VM Literacy students work through the areas of study 'Accessing and understanding informational, organisational and procedural texts' and 'Creating and responding to organisational, informational or procedural texts'.
In this area of study students will become familiar with and develop confidence in understanding and accessing texts of an informational, organisational or procedural nature. These texts should reflect real-life situations encountered by students and be representative of the sorts of texts students will encounter in a vocational setting or workplace, or for their health and participation in the community. Students will learn to recognise, analyse and evaluate the structures and semantic elements of informational, organisational and procedural texts as well as discuss and analyse their purpose and audience. Students will develop their confidence to deal with a range of technical content that they will encounter throughout adulthood, such as safety reports, public health initiatives, tax forms and advice, contracts, promotional videos and vocational and workplace texts.
