Literacy BC provides training and professional development for the literacy community at the regional and provincial levels, for example through our renowned Summer Literacy Institute and many other training events. We can advise on suitable training opportunities and resources year-round. We also provide orientation information and resources to help agencies understand literacy issues, introducing newcomers to the unique challenges of adult and family learning.
