- NOTE ABOUT TOOLS OLES Tools developed by ES Research Project (ESRP, mentioned before)- over 3000 stakeholders were interviewed- employers, academic institutions, practitioners, to determine skills needed for various professions. The ES methodology adapted scales from Int’l Adult Literacy Skills Survey (IALSS) and the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) however, the tools are not directly aligned to CLB levels but the Canadian Centre for Language Benchmarks is developing a comparative frameworks to relate the CLB to ES. The ES methodology is presently being updated to reflect new skills.

BVC- foreign trained/educated professionals that are high in certain ES but low in others i.e SOFT SKILLS (Oral Com/ Workplace language, Working with others/ Team Work, workplace culture etc.) NOTE - A lot of OLES tools/ project work is geared towards learners with low/ medium-literacy (LINC/CLB 1-4) focusing on level 2/3 (low on verge of medium) HOWEVER, tools can be used with higher level learners e.g. Foreign professionals are very high in some ES such as numeracy, document use, but low in others, workplace oral communication, working with others.
