Lobstick Literacy & Learning Society receives its core funding from Alberta Innovation and Advanced Education (AIAE). Therefore, we strive to meet AIAE community adult learning program priorities and guidelines. The priorities that we address are:
Enhance access to learning and increase participation of adults in learning;
Increase literacy and essential foundational skills of adults; Help adults transition into further learning or employment; these are the priorities that help shape our programming and within our programming we address these essential skills.
The Essential Skills are:
Numeracy, Reading Text, Writing, Document Use ,Digital Technology, Thinking Skills, Oral Communication, Working With Others, Continuous Learning.
Learning should be personal, and at Sylvan Learning of Canmore, it is. Our tutors in the Canmore area do more than teach math, reading and writing. We motivate kids to succeed.
Education has the power to open doors, but let’s be honest…sometimes the constraints of time and distance have a way of making your goals feel out of reach.Campus Alberta Central (CAC) is the connection between rural learners and their learning goals. We are a joint venture between Olds College and Red Deer College, operating as Campus Alberta Central.CAC offers various post-secondary programs and courses to adult learners in the many communities of Central Alberta. By working with the local Learning Sites, students are able to access classes in their own communities and from their own homes, with assistance. They are not left on their own to figure it out—there is community support and face-to-face help available.This connection and personal contact in the communities is what makes CAC successful for the learners.Technology is a beautiful thing, especially when it makes life a little easier. Easy access to education is no exception.
