|
|
Essential Skills Survey |

- This tool is designed to help employers identify potential Essential Skills issues or areas of strength in the workplace.
|
|
Essential Skills Workplace Check-up |
|
- This tool is designed to help employers gather useful employee feedback to improve human resources practices, such as training.

|
Essential Skills Training Activities |

- This tool is designed to help employers incorporate Essential Skills into workplace training. It includes a series of activities that focus on each of the nine skills and can be incorporated into formal or informal training to help employees improve their Essential Skills.

Additional tools for both employers and learners are currently being developed, and will be available this Fall. They will touch on areas such as self-assessment, portfolio development, integration of Essential Skills training into the workplace, and learning strategies for different skills.
