A tremendous amount of research, collaboration and all-around effort went into establishing both the common skills for the Ontario literacy field and the sector-specific skills for entry-level practitioners. While they are still valid and provide essential direction for both new and experienced practitioners, new skill areas have emerged since those lists were devised. While it is impossible to identify all of the new skills needed, Community Literacy of Ontario has briefly summarized several of the key emerging areas.

1. Working within Employment Ontario
Employment Ontario was launched in January 2007 and is a network of training and employment programs and services offered by the Ontario government. Employment Ontario is designed to help people seeking to upgrade their skills, looking for work, wanting to start a career, or looking for a career change. It can also assist employers to find and hire people with the skills employers need. Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) and Academic Upgrading programs enhance skills for further training, for employment and for self-management.
