• For those students who do not find work upon graduation, what activities do they become involved in (stay on welfare? go on to university or college? other?)
"Does anyone wish to add anything else to this particular topic of discussion?"

(6) I'd like to ask you a little bit about the changes to welfare legislation that have occurred recently (open).

  • Are you aware of these changes? Can you describe to me what they are? How have you become informed of the changes?
  • Have these changes affected your students, your program, or you as a literacy instructor in any way? (If yes) How? Can you give me any case examples?
"Does anyone wish to add anything else to this particular topic of discussion?"

(7) I'd like to review what has been discussed thus far...

We've talked about literacy programs, students, curriculum, the role of literacy in employment preparation, labour market trends, and welfare reform and its impact on students and programs. Now I'd like to hear about any recommendations you might have regarding literacy and employment preparation for adult learners (i.e programming, curriculum, supports for learners, labour market, welfare system, etc.). You can be as broad or as specific as you like.
