Laubach Literacy Ontario (LLO) has developed a series of resources to support LBS agencies in increasing their capacity to support apprenticeship – with the goal of creating apprenticeship-friendly LBS services. There are four modules:
 This resource introduces Ontario’s apprenticeship
system and explains why apprenticeship is an important and timely goal path for
Get SET agencies to address. It outlines how Get SET programming is a strong
fit for apprentices—supporting foundational skill development, workplace
readiness, and progression through training requirements—while also examining
current labour-market factors driving increased demand for skilled trades and
apprentices.
Participants are guided through practical planning
steps to strengthen local apprenticeship service delivery: conducting a
community market analysis, analyzing the skills needs of the apprenticeship
talent pool, and identifying key apprenticeship stakeholders (e.g., employers,
unions, training delivery agents, EO partners, and community supports). The
resource also provides direction on how to work effectively with these
stakeholders, clarifies the criteria Get SET agencies must meet to serve
learners on the apprenticeship goal path, and helps agencies assess their
readiness by identifying current strengths, determining fit, and pinpointing
priority areas for development.
Finally, the resource connects apprenticeship
goals to the Skills for Success framework and supports agencies to prepare
staff to design or enhance apprenticeship-focused services that respond to
evolving local needs.
