Workforce Literacy Information Session
This one-time session is open to anyone who wants to know more about tutoring in the new Workforce Literacy Program.
Literacy Victoria recently received funding for a two-year pilot project called "Workforce Literacy and Essential Skills" (WLES). Come to this session to learn about this new program and the opportunities to volunteer.
What is it all about? Well, remember how it felt to start your first job – excited and a little scary at the same time? Volunteer to help a motivated adult learner navigate the ups and downs of preparing for, and successfully transitioning to, an entry-level position in the workforce. You will be a major contributor to building their employment skills as well as their self-confidence.
Literacy Victoria will teach you to deliver practical, hands-on learning modules geared to these entry-level positions that include basic literacy, computer use and essential job skills. Your contribution and learning support will reach far beyond one learner, however. You will also be helping Literacy Victoria develop a national program model can help adult learners throughout Canada.
