New Resources for Workplace Preparation

Summer Burton • April 26, 2023

For many learners, Literacy and Basic Skills programs offer the upgrading they need for successful employment, and we know through recent Workplace Literacy initiatives that people who are currently employed can also benefit from literacy upgrading. Through MLITSD’s Skills for Success initiative we are pleased that new curriculum and resources are available to support learners on the employment goal path and help LBS programs support employees.


We invite you to visit the Workplace Literacy page on the Literacy Resources and Discussion Forum to access new resources from organizations like Community Literacy of Ontario (CLO), Laubach Literacy Ontario (LLO), and the Ontario Association of Adult and Continuing Education School Board Administrators (CESBA).


Resource topics include communication, problem solving and decision making in the workplace, working in customer service, office administration or retail, marketing workplace literacy to employers, and completing organizational needs assessments.

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.
