Literacy Link South Central (LLSC) is proud to have developed a comprehensive LBS Apprenticeship Toolkit for use by adult literacy programs across the province of Ontario. This toolkit is full of resources including infographics, videos, curriculum booklets, recordings of webinars and a navigation guide of existing apprenticeship focused resources. These resources are specifically tailored to the needs of frontline LBS program facilitators. These resources were developed in consultation with LBS program facilitators, managers and Literacy Networks across the province. They are quick to access, easy to use and FREE!

Learn how to better support an LBS learner who wants to pursue an apprenticeship. This webinar will help you better understand the differences between a traditional learner and a learner who wants to pursue a career in the skilled trades. We talk about how to connect with and build trust with a pre-apprentice. We also discuss how to navigate skills check-in conversations and how to present LBS supports in a way that help a learner feel safe and increases their desire to utilize the support being offered. We also share information on the many resources that have been developed for LBS facilitators to support apprentice learners and how to find and use them.
