The Newfoundland and Labrador Workplace/Workforce Learning Committee is comprised of members from education, business, labour, and the community-based sector. It is provincial in scope. The focus is on advancing workplace/workforce learning, and we purposely cover off both. We're trying to develop areas for those who are not working as well as those who are, so we use that rather awkward expression, “workplace/workforce”.
It is supported by Literacy Newfoundland and Labrador because certainly a lot of the problems we have are with literacy--and I guess we should use the plural, “literacies”. We find we have problems with some people's ability to read and write and so on. We're looking at literacies in the workplace, which includes computer literacy and a lot of other literacies we'd like to go into.
