Essential Skills- Ontario Skills Passport


The Ontario Skills Passport web site is an amazing, in-depth and "essential" resource for all of our programs.
The Ontario Skills Passport (OSP) provides clear descriptions of the Essential Skills and work habits important for work, learning and life. Essential Skills are used in virtually all occupations and are transferable from school to work, job to job and sector to sector.
The OSP offers high school students, adult learners, job seekers, workers, employers, teachers, trainers, practitioners, job developers and counsellors a common language, resources and tools that help build competence, confidence and connections.
To watch an insightful tutorial on the OSP website, click on the link below:
At the Ontario Literacy Coalition annual conference, I was thoroughly impressed with the presentation on the OSP. Although the focus of the passport is work-related, there will be additional resources added relating to life and independence in the near future.
