Community Adult Learning Program Devon Public Library is the holder of the Government of Alberta’s Community Adult Learning Program (CALP) grant. Literacy skills are needed every day at work, at home, at school and in the community. Adult literacy is about much more than reading and writing instruction. Literacy is an essential life skill, necessary for everyday decision-making to adapt and succeed in a knowledge-based economy. We offer programs to help the community with access to information and tools they need to learn, work, create, and thrive. Residents and newcomers will have the opportunity to develop employability skills training, literacy skills (including digital), English Language Learning and life skills. Find information on all of our Adult Learning offerings with our dedicated website: www.devonadultlearning.com/ |
