Workplace
Literacy and Essential Skills Initiatives: Measuring and
Legitimating
Success to Expand Access is a
three-year project funded by the Office of Literacy and Essential
Skills
(OLES), Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) and
sponsored by
The Centre for Literacy of Quebec, Workplace Education Manitoba, Nova Scotia Department of Labour and Workforce
Development,
Canadian Council on Learning, with support from a New Zealand
Department of
Labour researcher. The goal of the project is to adapt and test an evaluation
model that will measure long-term impacts of workplace Literacy and
Essential
Skills (LES), convincing employers that this investment pays, and
motivating
workers and employers to engage in LES in the workplace. Three months into the project, we have reviewed prior work in the provinces, updated a literature review and examined the outcomes from the NZ study. In 2010, we will design the research model for the sites. Other
