Literacy Link South Central is proud to have partnered with regional literacy networks, workforce planning boards and Fedcap Canada to develop the new Career Pathways tool.


This online tool can help people find their path into jobs with growth potential in 10 sectors within the Grand Erie, Hamilton and Niagara regions.


The Career Pathways tool provides information based on the user’s preferred type of work and their employment skills. The person using the tool can choose to:


·      use the ‘Get Started’ button and be led through the tool, answering questions about their interests along the way.

·      explore the tool independently and create their own path through the resources the tool has to offer.


While each method has its own look and feel, the final results are equally helpful because they reflect the interests and skills of the person using the tool. They will be linked with active job listings, given information on the outlook for that job sector in the coming years, and find out the median salary.


There are also recommendations for education and training programs that show a clear way for someone to progress from an entry-level position to a more skilled, mid-level role. A full summary of the Career Pathway can then be emailed for easy reference.



We welcome you to try this handy tool for yourself! Discover the Career Pathways tool now.

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.
