Episode 94 - Opening Doors: Literacy and Employment, Featuring Member Spotlight

In our latest episode, host Dan Laxer sits down with Nicholas Salter, Executive Director at Provincial Employment Roundtable (PERT), and John Buck, President and CEO at CEDEC, to explore the connection between literacy and employment. Together, they discuss how literacy serves as a foundational pathway to employment, the broader economic and community benefits of strengthening literacy skills, and much more.

We’re also featuring a Member Spotlight with Joanna Bateman, Executive Director at Literacy in Action, who shares how her learner-focused organization is supporting English-speaking communities in the Eastern Townships to build essential literacy skills.
