Saint John Learning Exchange

This is the report on the first year of a three-year demonstration project called TIES 2 Work, funded by the New Brunswick Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour. It facilitates matches between employers and potential employees through 12 weeks of job-specific, essential-skills training, which results in employment at a minimum starting wage.

This report presents the results of a research project conducted by the Saint John Learning Exchange. The purpose of this project was to collect information from adult learners who previously attended programs at the Learning Exchange in order to augment quality in program delivery and obtain a realistic understanding of the learning needs of adults who access literacy programs.
