New Year, New Projects

2010 is proving to be a busy year for TOWES and the TOWES staff.

In the first month we have been on the road to visit our distributors and partners, participate in project meetings and deliver training sessions.

TOWES is also busy with a couple new pilot projects, which are being conducted in Alberta and across the country:

Essential Skills Direct (ESD) - We have 13 project partners on board to field test this new Essential Skills training tool; that means almost 300 participants across Canada will be involved.

Essential Skills Online for Licensed Practical Nurses (ESO-LPN) – TOWES is excited to launch the field test for ESO for LPN, an online Essential Skills too developed specifically for IPNDIEN (Integrated Practical Nurse Diploma for Internationally Educated Nurses).  Developed as a support tool for internationally educated nurses, ESN for LPN features several enhancements that consider Essential Skills instruction for ESL learners. If you are interested in learning more about this project or participating in the field testing, please contact Meghan at: 403.410.3198.

Stay tuned to the TOWES Times, as we will be announcing some new exciting projects that we have coming up for 2010 — including changes to our website.
