For several years, Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) and Employment Services (ES) programs have been working together in communities across Ontario. Because there has been no official direction on how to specifically work together, communities have taken an organic approach – doing “what they can with what they have” in order to try to serve clients more effectively.

This targeted training series has all the materials needed to run training for learners interested in pursuing a career in manufacturing. Soft skills, essential skills, and technical skills are integrated. The training has been developed to be delivered over 12 sessions, with an optional 13th session. The optional 13th session is intended for learners to take part in a mock interview by appointment. Each session will take 2-3 hours. Each session has a PowerPoint. There is one learner workbook that is used for all twelve sessions. There are individual handouts and/or answer keys in some of the sessions. In addition, there is a sample learner plan template with suggested milestones that can be used by Employment Ontario funded programs. Employment Ontario Literacy and Basic Skills agencies are required to determine a learning style for each learner. This has been referenced in the learner handbook. However, a learning style survey is not provided in the materials. You can use the learning style survey you are currently using at your agency.
All of the materials that have been created can be personalized for your agency with your own logo. They are either Word documents or PowerPoint documents. Materials from other sources that have been included as examples or resources are PDF’s and cannot be personalized. The full package can be downloaded below.
This manual is designed using a skills-based format. Each skill has 4 jobs attached to it, with the exception of “Follow Written Directions”. Each job has at least one authentic workplace material attached to it.
As part of our 2020/2021 business plan, Community Literacy of Ontario partnered with the Tri- County Literacy Council (TCLC) to research, write and adapt the Warehouse Worker and Material Handler.
Curricula for adults enrolled in Ontario’s Literacy and Basic Skills agencies are always in high demand, and the staff at Tri-County Literacy Council have extensive experience in curriculum development and delivery.
Community Literacy of Ontario is grateful to Literacy Link Eastern Ontario (LLEO) for allowing its Warehouse Worker and Material Handler curriculum to be revised, adapted and updated by CLO and Tri-County Literacy Council.
