About Literacy, Basic & Essential Skills

Literacy and Basic Skills are skills necessary to function as a contributing member of the community. These skills include everything from reading, writing and math to participating in society. Literacy and Basic Skills look at skills through an academic lens.

Essential Skills are the skills people need for work, learning and life. They include literacy and are the basis for learning all other skills. Essential Skills underlie the performance of most workplace tasks. Essential Skills look at skills through a workplace lens. Click here for more information about Essential Skills.

Through the LearningHub learners can access online learning activities based on the nine essential skills for work, learning and life. These are: reading text, document use, writing, math, computer use, oral communications, continuous learning, working with others and thinking skills (which includes: problem solving, critical thinking, decision making, job task planning and organizing, significant use of memory and finding information). In certain instances where a learner has a specific occupational goal, online learning activities are based on the essential skills identified as necessary for that job under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) Code.
