A Comprehensive Review and Development of Measurement Options for Essential Skills Initiatives: Final Report
The Office of Literacy and Essential Skills (OLES) currently supports a wide range of Literacy and Essential Skills (LES) projects that include pilots of various training delivery models in both workplace settings and for jobseekers, through the Adult Learning, Literacy, and Essential Skills Program (ALLESP).
This program aims to develop, test and evaluate innovative training models that support Canadians in improving their LES, with the aim to help them obtain and keep a job, as well as to adapt and succeed at work. Performance measurement is critical to the achievement of these broader objectives of ALLESP and to the success of the projects it supports.
