Reading Documents at Work |
The Council (SkillPlan) will develop a stepping stone course for trades where basic

that happens on the job. Up to 20 educators will be given hands on experiences
with three different trades with actual site visits. This pilot will be a model for
elsewhere in the country. Support will also be provided by BC Ministry of Skills,

Essential Skills and Success in Apprenticeship |
The project conducted a research of Essential Skills and Success in Apprenticeship
and prepared a background paper for the November 2001 meeting of the Canadian
Council of Directors of Apprenticeship in Ottawa. The paper was prepared at the
request of HRDC as background to stimulate discussion on ES. The task was to
highlight essential skills - reading, document use, numeracy, problem solving,
etc., - define the issues and report on solutions or responses where they exist. |
