Workforce Planning Boards

Tamara Kaattari • April 5, 2022

Both Regional Literacy Networks and Workforce Planning Boards have been an important part of the Employment and Training System in Ontario for decades. Both types of organizations are unique in that they are networking organizations as opposed to organizations that provide direct services.


Workforce Planning Boards research, examine and report on local labour market trends and facilitate local workforce planning, and Regional Literacy Networks apply local labour market information to the ongoing planning they do with Literacy and Basic Skills agencies. The goal is to make adult literacy programming responsive to local labour market trends and needs. Clearly, there are reasons for both types of organizations to collaborate. We are pleased to offer you an opportunity to learn about these valuable collaborations in our new report "Regional Literacy Networks and Workforce Planning Boards - The Partnerships Continue," produced in 2022.

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.
