This document profiles six successful literacy partnerships between Canadian community colleges and public/private agencies. The following partnerships are examined: an adult basic education program provided through a partnership between New Brunswick Community College and the Correctional Service of Canada; a workplace literacy program offered jointly by George Brown College and the Labour Council of Metropolitan Toronto and York Region; a deaf literacy project sponsored by Red River Community College, the Society for Manitobans with Disabilities, and the Winnipeg Community Centre of the Deaf; the Effective Reading in Context Program, which is a partnership between Keyano College and the synthetic crude oil producer Syncrude Canada, Ltd.; SARAW (The Student's Voice), which is a talking computer program designed for severely disabled adults through the joint efforts of Capilan College and the Neil Squire Foundation; and I-CARE (Individualized Community Adult Reading Education Program), which has evolved as a partnership among Douglas College, surrounding communities, libraries, and community agencies. Each profile contains background information on the program's partners, program objectives, and innovations that have made the program/partnership successful. Concluding the document are a discussion of the program and partner characteristics that make partnerships work and contact persons/addresses of the six partnerships profiled. (MN)
