Literacy has a profound and pervasive impact on the residents and communities of the Northwest Territories. Literacy, or its lack, impacts people of all ages and permeates every aspect of our society. In the Northwest Territories, literacy is seen as a lifelong process and is encouraged in all eleven official languages. Literacy is understood to include many different skills, including reading, writing, numeracy, computer use, oral communication, problem solving and critical thinking.
Early learning and child care play a crucial role in the healthy development of all children. During the first five years of a child's life, their brain grows rapidly, and everyone involved in their life, including family members, grandparents, caregivers, and others, plays a significant role in shaping their early development.
Choosing quality child care is an important decision. You want a secure, healthy environment that fosters your children's development in all areas - social, physical, intellectual, creative and emotional.

Labour market information can be overwhelming and confusing; learning what is it and how to use it can help a person make informed decisions about their education, training, employment, or business operations.
Labour market information can be simple (like a news story) or complex (charts, graphs, analysis). If you need help understanding labour market information or would like support in determining your career path, please contact a career development officer at your local ECE Service Centre.
