We partner with ABC Life Literacy to deliver training in money math. Money Matters is a free introductory financial literacy program for adult learners. The workbooks are used in classrooms across Canada and are full of learning activities that can be adapted according to your individual needs.

Reading & writing 

We can help you improve your reading, document use and writing skills. If needed, we can begin the training with the basic foundations of reading. We might also help you learn to apply online for a job or write an accident report for work.

• Language skills (spelling, reading and writing)
