The Government of Canada has created a helpful “Essential Skills Profiles” website.
The Essential Skills Profiles are listed in alphabetical order by job. The jobs listed range from Appliance Servicers and Repairers, to Kitchen Helpers, to Waste Water Operators. Under each job link are the descriptions of the nine essential skills generally performed by the average worker. Tasks are rated
from basic to advanced within that job.
The Essential Skills Profiles provides a great list of tasks a learner would need for a job and an excellent way to match current skills to potential jobs. Essential Skills Profiles can be used to help learners make a plan that shows the steps to reach their career goal. This website is also a great way to explore jobs and skills prior to starting learning.
