YOUTUBE VIDEO ON LITERACY SERVICES AND LAID-OFF
WORKERS BY REGIONAL LITERACY NETWORKS

Three of Ontario’s regional literacy networks (Adult Basic Education Association of Hamilton, Literacy Link South Central and the QUILL Learning Network) partnered together to create a helpful YouTube video called “Skills Upgrading for Laid Off Workers”. This video overviews the support LBS agencies can provide to laid off workers in our province and how they can
access help. It provides generic information and as such could be used to promote literacy
in many different communities.
