I have years of experience training in a variety of sectors as does my co-writer. We have watched downsizing, re-engineering, paradigm shifts, new technologies introduced, employment equity; the list goes on....
We have worked directly with learners in the workplace, and with their help have identified the common tasks (with related language competencies) that help ensure their employability in their organization (or another organization.) This experience forms the core of CanadaWorks.
We acknowledged the competency areas being assessed in Working – Assessing Skills, Habits, and Style, a standardized assessment instrument available through Laubach Literacy.
