Measuring Literacy & Essential Skills
Literacy and essential skills are measured
on a 5 Level scale. Level 1 represents the most basic tasks
we do on the job. Level 5 represents the most difficult tasks
performed in any Canadian occupation.
At work we complete tasks at a variety of
different levels. Most Canadian jobs require workers to be
able to complete tasks at a Level 3 or higher.
