That is also the reason why the department expends a lot of effort. I would like to talk about one organization,

the office of literacy and essential skills.

We have a lot of projects, not only involving the trades, but in all sorts of areas, to try to improve literacy and numeracy among the people who must meet these challenges. We want to ensure that these people are more active, more engaged and have more resilience on the labour market.
