Training will take place at onsite at Atlantic Aqua Farms in Georgetown, PEI, running from August 12-Sept 20, 2019. Following the classroom training will be 1 week of paid on-the-job-training (OJT) and next 4 weeks of paid work placement, with the potential for long term employment following successful work placement.
After completing the project, participants will be invited to attend a closing ceremony where they will be presented with their course certificate of completion, and the Chromebook laptop computers provided during the training.
The Essential Skills for Atlantic Fisheries (ESAF) project, funded by the Government of Canada's Adult Learning, Literacy and Essential Skills Program, is being led by the Literacy Coalition of New Brunswick in partnership with the PEI Literacy Alliance, Literacy Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador Laubach Literacy Council.
