About This GuideThe Easy Reading Career Planning Series encourages adults with low literacy skills to seek the support of a career advisor or tutor to help them with their career decision-making. Job Profiles: Help for Career Advisors accompanies the Easy Reading job profiles. This guide provides

Easy Reading Career Planning SeriesThis guide is part of the Easy Reading Career Planning Series. The series was developed to help adults with low literacy skills or English as a Second Language (ESL) expand their knowledge of occupations and choose an occupational goal. Although every effort has been made to write at a Grade 2 to 3 reading level, the level may be higher at times because of the need to include difficult words essential to a particular occupation.
Easy Reading Career Planning Series publications are available on the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) website at alis.alberta.ca/ERadvisors.
Binder insertsFor your convenience, a downloadable binder cover and spine insert is available at alis.alberta.ca/ERadvisors to help you organize the Easy Reading Career Planning Series.
Job or occupation?
Many people make no
distinction between
occupations (groups
of similar jobs) and
jobs. They use the two
terms interchangeably.
For this reason, and
for ease of reading,
the Easy Reading job
profiles, dictionary and
Work and You books
use the term “job” in
place of “occupation.”
