WW Report & Resource Guide Integrating Essential Skills into Training Materials Dan Daniels Deputy Minister of Education Culture and Employment Government of the Northwest Territories Good morning and welcome. It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to this conference. Essential Skills are vitally important to adult learning. Not only are they the building blocks for further learning, but they also ensure adults have the right skills for changing work and life demands. They help people to not only get in the door but to get them in many other doorways of opportunity. The theme of this conference Integrating Essential Skills into Training Materials follows up last year’s Essential Skills and the Northern Oil and Gas Workforce conference. One of this conference’s goals is to build capacity in the area of essential skills training amongst practitioners and trainers in the Northwest Territories. Improved understanding of this area will enable the implementation of effective programs that will meet the needs of learners, workers and employers. The Department’s strategic plan, Building on our Success, emphasizes the need for creating and improving the socio-economic standards of people across the North. Education, training, and skills acquisition are foundational for creating those conditions. Skills shortages continue to create challenges in several major industries in the north. Employers need employees who have the ability to adapt to change and transfer skills from job to job. Dan Daniels Effective training programs will lead to a better return on the investment to be made in training for northern-based workers. I can see from the agenda there are many good opportunities for accessing your allies, networking, information sharing and hands-on learning during this conference. I commend the organizing committee as well as all the presenters and participants for their contribution in bringing this conference to fruition. Enjoy learning and sharing your knowledge and experiences with each other. I sincerely hope that the next 2 days will provide you with valuable new approaches and resources to take back to your workplace and communities.
Integrating Essential Skills into Training Materials Report & Resource Guide WW WWESTNET In November 1993, representatives from western Canadian business, labour, education and government met to discuss their experiences and concerns regarding Workplace Literacy and Essential Skills development in western Canada. They discovered that having the opportunity to learn from each other was extremely valuable. As a result, this small group made a commitment to explore the broader needs of western Canadian business and labour in terms of literacy and essential skills training, and to become a catalyst for change. To date, WWestnet (the Western Canada Workplace Essential Skills Training Network) has hosted eleven very successful Workplace Literacy and Essential Skills conferences/workshops, and publishes a newsletter, “the bottom line”. WWestnet also recognizes champions of workplace literacy, supports the development of workplace practitioner training, promotes research addressing the issues, and uses its network to communicate information about Workplace Literacy and Essential Skills initiatives. Purpose Rob Despins Standard Aerospace Naomi Frankel SK Federation of Labour Herman Hansen Boeing Canada Technology MB Greg Maruca AB Union of Provincial Employees Bob McConkey Douglas College Irma Mohammed BC Federation of Labour Jonas Sammons University of Manitoba Nancy Steel Foothills Continuing Education Council Sue Turner BC Hydro Generation WWestnet’s main purpose is to raise awareness of and to be a catalyst for workplace literacy and essential skills issues and activities. WWestnet accomplishes this by sharing information and broadening awareness of workplace literacy and essential skills, and by increasing the support for related programming through western Canadian networks. WWestnet recognizes that all sectors (business, labour, education and government) must share the responsibility for building a workforce with the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to keep pace with change. To this end, WWestnet is committed to: • using its network to broker information on workplace literary and essential skills issues and initiatives • developing forums where relevant issues and initiatives can be discussed • publishing a WWestnet newsletter • facilitating worker education programs • recognizing and supporting champions of workplace literacy and essential skills • supporting the development of workplace literacy and essential skills practitioner training • sharing expertise and resources whenever practical and feasible • providing a western Canadian link to western provincial, national and international workplace literacy and essential skills initiatives www.nald.ca/wwestnet/index.html
