 Fact Sheet #3: New Approaches to Learner Recruitment
   
Author(s):   Community Literacy of Ontario
Published:   June 2022
Funder:   Employment Ontario
   
Annotation:  

There is a critical need to share learner recruitment challenges, strategies and new approaches amongst Ontario’s Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) programs. This is due to the negative impacts of COVID-19 on community programming, changing trends in marketing, the impact of new media as well as other factors. The ability of LBS programs to successfully recruit learners is critical to support communities and adults seeking to upgrade their skills. To assist LBS agencies with this important issue, Community Literacy of Ontario (CLO) created a research report and three accompanying factsheets.

To help understand the impact and importance of the five soft skills, CLO has partnered with Adaptimist Insights to review existing literature on the topic of soft skills training and its impact on adult education.

This literature review investigates best practices for incorporating psychoeducational programming into existing literacy programs. The objectives of the project are threefold:

1.      To identify the key emotional and social deficits most associated with contemporary literacy challenges.

2.      To make recommendations about specific soft skill remediations that could improve literacy at both the individual and group levels.

3.      To identify the mechanics necessary to deliver such programming in the most efficient way possible.
