Hi LINC 7 students,

We are going to look at Essential Skills on Tuesday and Thursday this week (no class on Wednesday due to VCC Day).

Essential Skills are the skills needed for work, learning and life. They provide the foundation for learning all other skills. The Canadian government has rated the skills needed for a wide range of jobs and careers, from 1 (low skill level) to 5 (advanced skill level). 

I'll have a handout for you to read and questions to work on for Thursday. I want you to use this Canadian government website to answer the questions:

You will also be doing a speaking assessment on Tuesday. The theme for this speaking assessment is education and training. It will involve individual one-on-one interviews. No preparation required!
