Learning For Life

Tamara Kaattari • May 1, 2018

As part of our partnership with the Local Employment Planning Council, Literacy Link South Central staff are hard at work on a new, public-facing tool called Learning for Life.

The Learning for Life tool is a free, online, searchable, decision-tree based catalogue of adult education opportunities within the London Economic Region. Scheduled for release in the summer of 2018, this new online tool will help people in Elgin County, Middlesex County, Oxford County, and the cities of London, Woodstock, and St. Thomas by asking them a series of questions, and then making recommendations for local adult education and training opportunities based on the users’ answers.

The tool will be available on mobile devices, laptop and desktop computers, and as a web portal for our community partners. It can be used by anyone interested in accessing adult education and training, and can also be used as a tool by service providers to help connect them to services outside their own that can help their clients achieve their goals.

Stay tuned for more information in the months ahead - we can't wait to share this new tool with you!

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.
