QUILL Learning Network has created EmployAbility Success! Essential Skills at Work in response to the literacy field’s need for more workplace materials that incorporate Essential Skills. With EmployAbility Success! students are able to read about workers in four different entry level jobs and practice the Reading, Document Use and Numeracy skills that are needed for many of their job tasks.
EmployAbility Success! uses genuine workplace scenarios and engaging characters so that students will be encouraged to enter into an authentic work-like experience. Students will:
• read authentic workplace scenarios that enable them to understand how Essential Skills are needed on the job
• learn how workers in each scenario use specific Essential Skills
• practice using the Essential Skill in a similar job task
• reflect on workplace realities with questions, special Workplace Know-How information boxes and discussion opportunities
• complete Overtime Activities that reinforce the Essential Skill already used
• self-Assess on the Essential Skills used in each chapter before and after each module
Ontario Practitioners!
We have also created a Relationship Matrix that shows you the relationship between the job tasks in EmployAbility Success! and the Ontario Adult Literacy Curriculum Framework (OALCF). The matrix will help you to easily identify how the job tasks in EmployAbility Success! support specific competencies within task groups in the OALCF. It uses the same colour code as the OALCF for quick and easy reference.
