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
module provides an overview of Ontario’s apprenticeship system and its
relevance to adult learners in Get SET programming. It explains how
apprenticeship fits within the Employment Ontario system, including eligibility
requirements, entry pathways, and the role of Pre-Apprenticeship programs. It
highlights how criteria such as education, language proficiency, essential
skills, and workplace readiness influence learners’ decisions to enter or
remain in Get SET. The resource also outlines supports for foreign credential
recognition to help practitioners guide internationally trained adults
appropriately.
The
module includes practical guidance for Get SET agencies, such as selecting
assessment tools to determine apprenticeship readiness, aligning assessment
practices, and integrating apprenticeship-focused language into individualized
training plans. It encourages practitioners to review curriculum materials,
programming, partnerships, and staff expertise to ensure alignment with trade
expectations and workplace contexts.
Finally,
the module emphasizes collaboration and continuous improvement. It identifies
key partners—including training delivery agents, unions, employers, community
agencies, and credential recognition bodies—and explores how Skills for Success
competencies connect to trade readiness. It concludes with guidance on targeted
professional development to strengthen agency capacity to support learners
pursuing skilled trades pathways. |
