Essential Skills Curriculum Development (2009 – 2011)

Client: S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Employment Services

S.U. C.C.E.S.S is a BC-based, non-profit organization whose focus is to assist immigrants in connecting to the community at large. As the Educational Partner for an initiative to increase Essential Skills levels, our role was to create customized training plans. Using authentic workplace-based materials, each training plan was aligned to the core competencies outlined by the employer while also incorporating Essential Skill development.

Our first project with S.U.C.C.E.S.S. (03/2009-03/2010) was to develop a workplace-based training program comprising 80 1-hour lessons focussing on the development of workplace-relevant Essential Skills. Our second project (05/2010-05/2011) was the creation of up to 20 customized training plans covering 60 participants.
