Ask an Expert! TOWES Consulting Services

Did you know over 45,000 Canadians have written TOWES?  Each of these individuals provided valuable demographic information and Essential Skills scores.  When analyzed, this information yields powerful findings that can inform training and program design, assist in strategic HR planning, and offer an unbiased evaluation of your workforce for recruitment, promotion, succession planning or training.

TOWES Data Analysis Services are designed to present an in-depth look at the Essential Skill levels of a particular group or population.  Each analysis is customized to fit your organizational needs and research questions. These are established in partnership with a highly-trained TOWES consultant.  As a complement to the analysis, TOWES will summarize the findings in a professional quality report or needs analysis documentation.

Need some training?  We can help.  TOWES has created a number of training sessions, which can be customized your group or audience needs.  Training sessions are offered in-house at Bow Valley College, onsite at your organization, or at conference and training facilities located across the country.  Examples of our training include:

  • Introduction to TOWES and Essential Skills;
  • Understanding national and international literacy and Essential Skills initiatives;
  • Understanding and interpreting TOWES test results;
  • Case studies and best practices in workforce training and development; and,
  • Developing curriculum and integrating Essential Skills into college-based programs

The TOWES team is also available to make a presentation at your next professional development day, conference or industry event.  For more information on our consulting and training services, call TOWES today at 403.410.3200 or email towes@bowvalleycollege.ca.
