The Saint John Learning Exchange is partnering with local employers to offer skills training and it many cases it leads to a full-time job.
Executive Director Christina Fowler tells CHSJ News literacy is about more than reading and writing.
Fowler says literacy really means that you can get a job but, you do not have the skills to move to the next.
The Saint John Learning Exchange relies on government for about 70 per cent of their funding, the rest is through donations and fundraising.
