Supporting the Path to Employment

Coming soon: new task-based activities for job seekers!

Literacy Link South Central is a proud partner in the Local Employment Planning Council (LEPC) for the London Economic Region. Recently, the LEPC developed and launched the Local Jobs Hub – a tool that aggregates job postings from approximately 20 job search sites and makes them available in a single location. Contained in the Local Jobs Hub, users can access:


  • A regional job map with information including bus routes, childcare centres, and more
  • Fully searchable job listings from across the region
  • An opportunity to explore employment paths and connected careers
  • Access to local labour market information

The Local Jobs Hub has been warmly received throughout Elgin, Middlesex, and Oxford Counties, and can be an incredibly valuable resource for Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) learners on the employment goal path.

With support from the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development, Literacy Link South Central will be developing a series of 20 task-based activities to introduce the Local Jobs Hub, and teach literacy learners how to use it effectively. We look forward to sharing these learning resources with the field soon!

Please visit the Local Jobs Hub at https://workforcedevelopment.ca/ and contact us if you have any questions about this project.

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.
