Fabricating the Future: Building Tomorrow’s Manufacturing Workforce

Supporting the growth of manufacturing in the London Economic Region

Manufacturing is thriving in the London Economic Region, helping grow our economy and providing ample job opportunities. However, manufacturers currently face a significant challenge filling available jobs however. Adding to the issue are the thousands of people in the London region who are not working and aren’t currently seeking employment. If even a fraction of those people were encouraged and supported toward a career in manufacturing, we could help overcome that challenge.

With support from our partners in the Local Employment Planning Council (LEPC), Literacy Link South Central is pleased to announce that we are developing new modules to support adult literacy learners on the road to a career in manufacturing.

More manufacturers have announced their intention to build facilities in the London region in the months and years ahead, which means the manufacturing role in local employment will only continue to grow. When these modules are released in the spring of 2020, we hope that they become a building block for both employment-bound literacy learners and local employers.

The Skills for Success are the nine skills the Canadian government has identified everyone needs to be successful in work, learning and life. Today we're continuing our look at the Skills for Success by talking about Writing . According to the Canadian government, writing is how we share information using written words, symbols, and images. For example, we use this skill to fill out forms and applications, and write emails, reports and social media posts. Learn more about writing and the other Skills for Success here , and think about the writing you do on an average day, from grocery lists to reminders to homework. If you'd like to build your reading, writing, creativity, problem solving, and other Skills for Success, Ontario's adult literacy programs offer free, individualized training that can help.
