Community Adult Literacy Program
Across BC, many community literacy organizations offer Community Adult Literacy Programs (CALPs). Adult learners attend CALPs to improve their literacy and essential skills. CALPs allow adult learners to take non-credit literacy courses to improve their literacy skills for work, for home, or to pursue formal learning or training at a school district or public post-secondary institution.
CALP objectives:
- increase the level of literacy and numeracy proficiencies among adults – 19 years and older – in order to meet the increasing demands of our labour market
- meet the varying needs of adult learners including Indigenous peoples, immigrants, and persons with disabilities
- increase literacy awareness among British Columbians
