Learn how to facilitate LLSC's soon-to-be-released soft skills course

Literacy Link South Central's Game Changer curriculum provides interactive training on real-world skills thatcan be developed and practiced in a game-based environment. Using a combination of facilitated lessons, participatory activities, research, and of course games, “Game Changers: Gaming Skills and the Workplace” is being piloted to help teach a new generation of job seekers the 21st Century soft skills so critical to Canadian employers.

Built in a modular fashion to allow for maximum flexibility, this course can be run in its full 40-hour length, or it can be broken into workshops on individual topics of interest. Modules in this course share insights into gaming psychology, the skills developed and demonstrated through gaming, and what soft skills employers are looking for in today’s labour market. Self-analysis and planning for further skill development and job attainment are built into the course as participants gain a deeper understanding of specific soft skills including Verbal Communication, Non-verbal Communication, Observation Skills, Decision Making, Problem Solving, Teamwork, Flexibility and Adaptability, Work Ethic, Conflict Resolution, and Resiliency.

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.
