DO YOU HAVE EMPLOYEES WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM ESSENTIAL SKILLS TRAINING?
Do you have employees who would benefit from Essential Skills Training?

Contact Angie at Lifelong Learning (780) 539-6077 to be part of a project this fall where your employees can get individualized support to improve in reading, document use and numeracy. We are currently applying for funding from AEI for this project and are seeking partner employees.

Requirements are: Willing learners and cooperative employers. 40% of adult Albertans do not have the literacy skills to reach their potential in the increasingly knowledge-based economy (Stats Can) and therefore limit our potential as a province, and your potential as a company.
