Our economy is enhanced when learners have higher literacy levels. Effective literacy skills open the doors to more educational and employment opportunities so that people are able to pull themselves out of poverty and chronic underemployment. In our increasingly complex and rapidly changing technological world, it is essential that individuals continuously expand their knowledge and learn new skills in order to keep up with the pace of change.
Consequently, there is a growing mismatch between the skills that employers need and the skills that workers have. This discrepancy leads to high unemployment coupled with a high job vacancy rate. Our provincial government has stressed that if we do not address our skill shortages, BC will face an ever greater labour crisis. 1,126,000 job openings are expected in BC over the next decade, yet there are only 607,000 young people in BC’s education system. Soon, there will be more jobs than workers.
Immigration is a major factor in Canada’s economic growth, but successful transition into the Canadian labour market remains elusive for many immigrants whose skills, knowledge and experience are too frequently under-utilized because of English language literacy issues.
Whenever we hear from learners that they have been promoted at work, we know another business has benefited from our service.
