Try these 20 new activities for job seekers!

Literacy Link South Central is pleased to announce the release of 20 activities that can be used to help job seekers learn how to effectively use the Local Jobs Hub. Maintained by the Elgin Middlesex Oxford Workforce Planning and Development Board, the Local Jobs Hub offers a host of interactive tools to help people explore available jobs, career paths, and labour market information so they can make informed decisions about employment. 

These 20 new activities can be used by Literacy and Basic Skills programs, Employment Services, Ontario Works programs and others to help support learners and clients. Each of the activities includes a complete set of tasks and a corresponding answer key. 

For questions about local labour market information and tools, please contact the Planning Board at (519) 672-3499 or visit https://workforcedevelopment.ca/ to use the Local Jobs Hub tools.

The development of this set of Local Jobs Hub activities was funded by the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development.

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.
