We’ve designed the page so that
you can access any of the reports and documents from a project that
took an in-depth look at the National Literacy Secretariat Business
and Labour Partnership Program from 1988-2006. The overall intention
of the project was to understand the process of partnership development
and the strategies that were used to engage business, labour, literacy
practitioners and provincial and territorial governments in adult
work-related literacy at a time when no such program model existed.
On the right hand
side of the page is the complete narrative report that can be read,
scanned or printed depending on your interest. It is called An
Historical Look at the National Literacy Secretariat Business and
Labour Partnership Program and contains the Executive
Summary and six other sections. From an historical point of view,
this case study recorded many of the major events and activities of
the Program as described by the pioneering people who contributed
significantly to Canadian workplace literacy.
On the left hand
side of this page are four other ways of reading about the project.
At the top is a policy digest called An
Overview of the National Literacy Secretariat Business and Labour
Partnership Program. It was written in plain language and
provides a short brief for the busy reader. This is followed by a
French document called Aperçu
du programme de partenariat avec des entreprises et des organisations
syndicales du Secrétariat national à l’alphabétisation.
It captures the main points of the project for the French reader.
The third document, Fostering
Partnership Development in Workplace Literacy, was written
with a research focus. For readers who are more inclined to view a
slide presentation,
this last document provides the salient points about the project design
and the findings and implications. Please feel free to download, print
and reproduce these documents giving the project team appropriate
credit.
There are several
readers we had in mind when developing these different document formats.
One audience comprises program managers and policy analysts in a wide
range of federal, provincial and territorial government departments.
This group may be looking for innovative ways to promote and integrate
adult learning, literacy and essential skills. A second audience is
instructors from public and private training ventures whose work is
to support the development of partnerships. Another group is workplace
educators, co-coordinators and administrators working for labour,
business, government or community based agencies interested in forging
a true partnership in their different work environments. As well,
researchers, non-government organizations, and voluntary groups who
are interested in community development capacity building may benefit
from reading any one of the documents.
