Do you think
workplace basic skills programs are a good training investment?
Why? |
||||||||
| b) |
We know that
more than a third of Canadians have difficulty with printed material they may
encounter in their workplace. We also know that very few workplaces offer basic
skills education. (For example, only 2% of organizational training hours in
Canada are spent on basic skills education.) Why do you think so few workplaces
offer
programs? |
||||||||
| c) |
As a workplace
that does have a basic skills program, do you have any words of advice for
workplaces that don't have
programs? |
||||||||
| d) |
Thinking back
to before your own program(s) started, do you remember what some of the
barriers were to starting the
program(s)? |
