Challenge
A leading steel company, with an eye on culture and an employee base rich in cultural diversity, Dofasco wanted to further their competitive edge. Their idea? An in-house workplace education program accessible to a broad range of employees with varying literacy and technology capabilities.
Response
ClearWorks couldn’t wait to get on board! In partnership with community-based, not-for-profit organizations and other professional providers, ClearWorks played an integral role in the delivery of this award-winning and comprehensive Workplace Essential Skills Program. Employees with low to moderate literacy skills, and beginner to advanced technology capabilities streamed into the classrooms. ClearWorks managed classes in Literacy and Basic Skills, Business Writing, and Computer Literacy. From curriculum development to end-of-term celebration events, we watched our students turn problems into progress, giving Dofasco exactly the accolades and return on investment they so richly deserved.
