Are you an individual looking for skills upgrading? Or, is your company looking for workplace training for your employees? Whether you require one-on-one personal training or employee job-specific job-skills development, the YMCA Essential Skills team can develop a customized program tailored to your needs.

With over 80 years of combined experience, our team members have developed skills-based training and upgrading for groups and individuals across a broad spectrum of industries and educational backgrounds. Our team includes trainers and educators with extensive experience in customized on-site workplace training and development; literacy, numeracy and workforce training; and technical and computer skills development.

We work with individuals to deliver personal training to improve the following skills:

• Academic upgrading (non-credit)
• Literacy and basic skills education
• Computer and life skills instruction
• Training in reading, writing and math

You can choose to learn through private tutoring, as part of a small group, or on your own using one of our on-site computers. We offer you the comfort of our private and welcoming space, conveniently located in downtown Toronto just steps from Yonge and Bloor at 42 Charles Street East.
