For Employers

​Workforce literacy and essential skills generally refers to the skills people need and use at work such as: reading text, document use, oral communication, decision making and problem solving just to name a few. These skills are also used in association with other important skills such as: teamwork, self-direction, leadership and self-motivation. Workforce literacy and essential skills helps provide a foundation for lifelong learning as people and businesses grow together. Literacy and essential skills are at the core of workforce education.

Ways to promote literacy in the workplace:
  • Share information about learning opportunities with your employees
  • Partner with a literacy program or training provider
  • Sponsor or support a literacy program in your community
  • Make literacy an issue and a priority at your staff meetings
  • Include local program information in your company newsletters
  • Build links with local literacy partners in the community

Did you know…

There is a correlation between literacy and wage levels.

A Statistics Canada study indicates that each additional year of education a person receives is worth 8.3 percent
of their pay cheque.
​
Using an annual base salary of $30,000, this amounts to an additional $2490 per year.
​(Literacy, Numeracy and Labour Market Outcomes in Canada,Statistics Canada, 2001)
