The Language, Literacy and Employment Awareness Guide was
the product of a proposal by the Literacy Network of Durham Region (LiNDR) to
act as a pilot site for the second phase of the Enhancing Pathways – Literacy
and Language Continuum project generously funded by Project Read Literacy
Network Waterloo-Wellington and the Ministry of Training, Colleges and
Universities. Enhancing Pathways “sought to bring together the agencies that
provide language and literacy programming in their communities. It was intended
to enhance communication and referrals among the agencies.” The purpose of the
Language, Literacy and Employment Awareness Guide was to address challenges
faced by people identified in the Phase 1 report as “grey area” clients, those
who had English language, literacy and sometimes employment issues, and who
were sometimes ending up in a program that did not best meet their needs. It is
intended to be used by the front line staff that are the first point of contact for people seeking English language, literacy and
employment services.
