The Common Assessment of Basic Skills (CABS) is a set of tools and activities that enhance assessors' ability to tailor interviews to each learner’s skills, knowledge, experience, goals, and behaviours.

This training will introduce the newly updated Common Assessment of Basic Skills (CABS) tool, demonstrate how to navigate the online tool including interviews, index, and activities and demonstrate the importance of coaching during CABS assessment interviews.

PopUp PD alert!

Many Get SET programs see clients whose first language is not English (nor French), especially in communities where ESL/FSL services are not available. While some of these potential learners can benefit from participating in Get SET, others need more specific ESL/FSL training.

Join us live at 2pm on October 15 to learn more about ESL programming available to adults in Ontario and ideas for supporting and/or referring ESL clients.

✨ Celebrating the incredible work of our Get SET service providers! ✨

Every success story begins with a learner’s determination — and is strengthened by the guidance, patience, and expertise of the adult learning practitioners across Bruce, Grey, Huron, Perth, and South Georgian Bay.

From helping learners earn their CAEC or OSSD, to supporting career changes, apprenticeships, and new opportunities, these programs change lives every single day.

Let’s recognize and celebrate the service providers who make these journeys possible. Their commitment to clear communication, flexible learning, and learner‑centred support is what turns goals into achievements. 💙

QUILL is very excited to share the updated Task-Based Activities (TBA) Portal with Get SET practitioners in QUILL region and throughout Ontario. The new site can be accessed at: www.taskbasedactivities.ca

This resource was first developed by QUILL in 2012 in partnership with practitioners and learning networks across the province. In 2024, QUILL began reviewing and updating approximately 500 existing tasks, creating 200 new tasks, and developing a new website with improved features that will allow Get SET practitioners to easily locate the tasks they need.

Join us for a Lunch’n’Learn on September 28 from 12pm-12:45pm to learn more about this resource and its recent updates. For those unable to attend, a recording will be posted on the Task-Based Activities site as well as the QUILL website (www.quillnetwork.ca).

September means it's PopUp PD time again!

Demystifying the DSQ: The Detailed Service Quality (DSQ) Report 64 is used by the Ministry to monitor Get SET providers' progress towards their annual performance goals. Since it's the only report that relates directly to performance, it's important to understand where the data comes from and how to interpret it.

Mark September 17th at 2 p.m. on your calendar, and register today to learn more, ask questions, and share your insights!
