520 |a The purpose of the "State of the Literacy and Essential Skills Field" report is to provide an environmental scan showing the state of Literacy and Essential Skills (L/ES) across the country, from the perspective of the Canadian Literacy and Learning Network (CLLN) and its national network of partners, both within and outside the Literacy and Essential Skills field. Literacy and Essential Skills are part of the "right to learn" required for people to function effectively at work, at home, and in the community. This report shows how Literacy and Essential Skills have a powerful effect on the economic and social lives of Canadians. The "State of the Literacy and Essential Skills Field" report highlights the need for governments, organized labour, industry, community organizations, and educational institutions to look at issues through a Literacy and Essential Skills lens; to collaborate, partner, and to pool resources in order to recognize the importance of lifelong learning. The findings in this report will help the Office of Literacy and Essential Skills (OLES), federal and provincial policy makers, and the Literacy and Essential Skills field gain a better understanding of the broader economic, social, and political environment relevant to labour market attachment and reducing skills shortages for economic well-being and an inclusive, prosperous Canada. The report is comprised of three parts: Part 1: Literacy and Essential Skills; Part 2: The Labour Market; and Part 3: Looking to the Future. Appended are: (1) International Adult Literacy and Skills Survey; (2) National Network Partners Baseline Survey: Practitioners; (3) Profile of a Learner; and (4) UPSKILL Essentials to Excel.
