What is the Educational Essential Skills Assessment (EESA)?
The EESA is a comprehensive initial assessment that identifies both literacy and essential skill levels directly related to client goal paths. This assessment results in a detailed referral pathway of all the steps needed for the client to reach his/her independence, education/training, and employment goals. Currently, this assessment is being used in parts of Ontario to identify upgrading needs of clients looking to access Second Career and Ontario Skills Development and adds support for these program applications.
