The bottom line, No. 8

January 1998

Series: WWestNet's The bottom line

Authors: Western Canada Workplace Essential Skills Training Network (WWestNet)

This issue features an article on the movement by organized labour, particularly in western and northern Canada, to increase its role in providing basic education to working people. The goal is to see literacy become a tool for workers to effect social and economic change.

Other articles deal with efforts by the Alberta government to improve its apprenticeship programs; a Manitoba study of both common and sector-specific issues in emerging economic sectors; and a conference on workplace education hosted by ABC Canada.
