Workplace Language Assessment (WLA)

The WLA  provides a communicative assessment of language proficiency for internationally-educated newcomers whose first language is not English. It is designed for placement of candidates into  bridge to employment  programs where the national standard (CLB 7 – 10) is used to help determine eligibility.
