Academic Upskilling (AU) provides adults with support to improve their reading, writing, numeracy, communications, and digital technology skills. Participants learn in small class sizes with fellow students who are preparing to pursue one of five goal paths: post-secondary, secondary school credit, apprenticeship, employment, or independence.
The program is learner-centered and tailored to individuals’ learning needs. Learners engage in a mix of live instruction, independent learning, group work, webinar sessions, and one-on-one academic mentorship. It is for learners in OALCF levels 1 through 3 and funded by the Ministry of Labour, Training, and Skills Development.
This program might be good for you if you:
- want to improve your reading, writing, math, computer and other basic skills
- did not finish high school and want to prepare for transitioning to Post-Secondary
- want to develop skills for employability opportunities, including apprenticeship
- want to develop skills to enhance personal confidence and civic engagement with your community
