This guidebook was developed by the Centre for Canadian Language Benchmarks (CCLB) to help immigrants meet employment goals in the Canadian workplace by enhancing the understanding of Essential Skills (ES) for facilitators who work with immigrants. In addition, it is an excellent tool for a diverse range of individuals such as workplace trainers, teachers in educational institutions, members of labour unions, training consultants and counsellors in social service agencies, who may have little or no prior training in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL).
