Abstract	A project examined the skill gaps within the aerospace industry, identified and prioritized the skills common to all jobs and work areas within the industry, and provided insight into the skills that workers need to upgrade and develop. The research was conducted June-August 1994 at Bristol Aerospace's Winnipeg, Manitoba, operations. The basic skills needs assessment consisted of the basic skills survey and workplace reading materials assessment. The basic skills survey was comprised of confidential interviews with 125 participants. The questionnaire gathered information on background, education, and basic job site skills the participants perceived themselves as using to do their jobs. Data were analyzed to determine the critical, essential, and important workplace literacy skills based on the percentage and frequency of use. The reading materials assessment consisted of analysis of representative reading materials from throughout Bristol's operations. General company/union documents and government documents were found to be overly complicated in language, structure, and presentation format. Documents ranged from very easy to very difficult in readability throughout the work force with little correlation to educational background of the writer or intended reader. Recommendations were made regarding curriculum development; program delivery; and course development. (Appendixes include the survey, ranked use and frequency of use tables, and 15 references.) (YLB)
