The Office of Literacy and Essential Skills (OLES) focuses on improving the literacy and essential skills of adult Canadians.

OLES focuses on:

  • understanding what works,

  • developing practical tools and
    supports, and
  • providing employers, practitioners, and trainers with the tools and supports they need to improve the literacy and essential skills of adults.

For example, OLES manages grant and contribution agreements with stakeholders across Canada, develops literacy and essential skills tools, and conducts research, policy development, and partnership engagement activities.

OLES works in collaboration with a variety of partners such as Government of Canada departments, provincial and territorial governments and coalitions, and national organizations.
