LiUNA and Skills Upgrading
Learn about how a partnership between LLSC and LiUNA is benefiting the apprentices of tomorrow
For decades, apprentices and those whose goal is to get into apprenticeship have sought out adult upgrading (or LBS) programs so they can gain the skills they need to be successful. In a few instances, local trade unions have reached out to adult upgrading programs if they noticed that their preapprentices/apprentices needed some skills development support.
Such was the case between Literacy Link South Central (LLSC)—a regional adult literacy network— and LiUNA (the Labourers’ International Union of North America) Local 1059. LLSC and LiUNA Local 1059 struck up a formal relationship in 2021-2022—a relationship that saw 100 pre-apprentices go through one-on-one skills interviews and resulted in the creation of a Math Booster program.
