ANNOUNCING:

The first-ever national Survey of the Literacy and Essential Skills Workforce.

Are you involved in the provision of Literacy and Essential Skills programs and services, exclusively or as part of other services you deliver, to adults, as a paid teacher/ instructor, skills assessor, program/ curriculum developer, administrator, coordinator or manager? Would you like to contribute to the development of the field and to have the chance to speak about your own experience and reality as a member of the workforce? If so, this survey is for you. The survey is being overseen by the Canadian Literacy and Learning Network (CLLN) as part of the Literacy and Essential Skills Labour Market Study.
