Dear Joy:

The main people in Canada working in the construction industry are SkilPlan in British Columbia.  They are a union-based project that has worked for many years in the field of basic skills.  They have developed assessment tools, materials, and done research.  You should touch base with them for your research.

You can e-mail them at skillplan@telus.net.

Dear All

I am involved in an action  research project which is exploring the 
best way of "embedding basic skills" into the construction industry.  I 
am interested in any research/practice that you are aware of that 
focuses on teaching basic skills within construciton courses or that 
looks at ways of delivering basic skills onsite to construction 
industry employees.  The project is particularly interested in those 
workers who are over 25 years old.  Have any of worked with 
construction industry employees or researched into this?

Thank you for your help.
