An Essential Skills assessment provides employers and
trainers with data to make better informed hiring and
training decisions. According to Statistics Canada, 47% of Canadian
workers do not possess adequate skills in three areas that are
essential for workplace safety and productivity: reading text,
document use and numeracy
By using TOWES:
- Employers can identify and develop the Essential Skills of
workers and prepare them for a wide range of jobs
- Employees, students, and job seekers can identify and develop
their Essential Skills, enabling them to make better informed
career and education decisions and to access higher paying
jobs
- Educators and trainers can pinpoint areas of strength and
weakness and develop focused intervention strategies
By improving Essential Skill levels, workers can increase their
productivity and safety at work. Find out more about our TOWES Assessments.
