L'alphabetisation en milieu de travail (Literacy Training in the Workplace). English Translation. Roundtable Conducted at the National Colloquium, L'alphabetisation des adultes: questions et options (Adult Literacy: Questions and Options) (Toronto, Ontario, Canada, June 17-20, 1991).
Ontario Dept. of Education, Toronto.
This paper, translated from French, is a transcript of a roundtable discussion on workplace literacy programs in Canada (especially in Quebec). During the roundtable, the panelists discussed various workplace literacy programs being conducted in their companies through joint partnerships of employers and unions, sometimes with government financial assistance or with community-based agencies. All the panelists agreed that workplace literacy programs are beneficial to the workers, who gain confidence and job potential; to the companies, who gain more loyal, satisfied, and flexible workers; and to the unions, who gain more loyal and active members. The panelists suggested that government paperwork to receive literacy grants be simplified and that literacy programs be expanded to more companies. (KC)
