​Maawndoo Kinoomaagasiwin Program

Maawndoo Kinoomaagasiwin Program (Literacy & Basic Skills)

Kenjgewin Teg is an approved site for this program hosted by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development! 

The Ontario Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) program helps adults in Ontario to develop and apply communication, numeracy, interpersonal and digital skills to achieve their goals. The LBS program serves learners who have goals to successfully transition to employment, post-secondary, apprenticeship, secondary school, and increased independence. The program includes learners who may have a range of barriers to learning. The Ontario Adult Literacy Curriculum Framework (OALCF) is the cornerstone of Employment Ontario’s LBS Program, helping adults to achieve their goals of further education, work, and independence. The OALCF is a competency based framework that supports the development of adult literacy programming delivered through the Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) Program.

Through the LBS Program, individuals access five services that contribute to the successful completion of a learner plan. Service providers may focus on preparing learners for different goal paths but each learner, regardless of the focus of the service provider’s programming, receives the same five services:
  • Information and Referral
  • Assessment
  • Learner Plan Development
  • Training
  • Follow-up

Who Can Participate?

The LBS Program is available to Ontario residents who are out of school and communicate in English.

Special emphasis is placed on serving individuals who are receiving social assistance through Ontario Works. Services are free.  Kenjgewin Teg  is pleased to be a newly designated site serving Manitoulin Island in directed and self-directed format, and online through e-Channel service delivery. The Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) program serves adult learners:
  • who are Ontario residents;
  • whose literacy and basic skills are assessed at intake as being less than the end of Level 3 of the International Adult Literacy and Skills Survey (IALSS) or the OALCF;
  • who are at least 19 years old. On an exception only basis, LBS service providers may serve young adults between ages 16 to 18 who demonstrate the maturity to benefit from adult education. However, returning to the regular school system should be the priority for these learners; and
  • who are proficient enough in speaking and listening to benefit fully from the language of LBS instruction (English). [This eligibility requirement does not apply to Deaf learners].

This program is open to all residents of Manitoulin Island - call us for more information and to enroll: 705.377.4342
