OLC Makes Learning Opportunities Possible at Work

The Ontario Literacy Coalition (OLC) makes adult learning opportunities possible at work, at home and in the community. As Ontario moves through this economic recession, the workplace becomes the ideal environment for learning as workers seek training to upgrade their skills and maintain employment.

The OLC leads a Learning for Work Strategy in Ontario, which highlights literacy and essential skills as fundamentally important to a productive workplace, an engaged workforce and a prosperous Ontario. This strategy involves key OLC partnerships with the business and labour communities.

In conjunction with business and labour groups and the support of the Government of Ontario, the OLC is proud to announce our latest initiative, Collaborative Developmental Approaches (CODA): Piloting Illustrative Workplace Models.

Marking the re-introduction of Workplace Literacy in the province of Ontario and the fulfillment of a long term OLC goal, this initiative facilitates the implementation of Learning for Work programs in workplaces across Ontario.
