This webinar offers a practical introduction to the Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC), Canada’s new national high‑school equivalency assessment. We’ll look at what the CAEC is, how it differs from the former GED® test, and the structure and outcomes of its five competency areas: Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. The session highlights both the strengths and challenges educators are encountering implementing the new exam, including shifting expectations and emerging instructional needs. Participants will also explore the Vretta online platform and key preparation resources to support confident, well‑aligned learning pathways for adults preparing for the CAEC.
Over the 40 years of its existence, the Literacy Center of West Michigan has become a trusted partner in the region. In particular, the organization has been a leader in workplace-based ESL in partnership with dozens of employers across multiple sectors since 2001. This workshop will tell the story of some of those partnerships and the way that they have made possible a sustained and significant growth of the Literacy Center’s impact. Key principles for engaging with employers will be shared in order to equip you in your own communities.
