The Language for Success framework supports language, workforce, and workplace training design and instruction. It draws on the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) to provide insight into the language needed to demonstrate the nine Skills for Success (SFS). It can be used by instructors and program designers to: 

• Identify skills that second language speakers need for successful workforce integration 

• Design programs and curricula 

• Develop targeted instructional content 

• Choose relevant learning resources for language classes 

• Understand how typical workplace tasks relate to CLB levels 

The Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) standard is a descriptive scale of language ability in English as a Second Language (ESL) written as 12 benchmarks or reference points along a continuum from basic to advanced. The CLB standard reflects the progression of the knowledge and skills that underlie basic, intermediate and advanced ability among adult ESL learners.
