Industry Skills Improvement Council |
SKILLPLAN, on behalf of the researchers and practitioners involved in HRDC's
Essential Skills Research Project, will organize a training program to train
workplace literacy practitioners in how to use this new methodology to determine
the literacy requirements of jobs in order to deliver better and more useful
workplace literacy programs. The pilot training session will be held in western
Canada, and after refinements are made, it is expected that other projects will see
the training take place in other parts of the country. |
