More Book Details

Description of the Book:

A workplace literacy project for employees with limited English proficiency was conducted at five sites in the Chicago area. The 15-month project was a joint effort of an educational agency, a community-based organization, and three manufacturers. The curriculum covered English-as-a-second-language (ESL) life skills, work skills, and job skills. In order to provide the training, the project conducted a literacy audit and needs assessment, developed or selected literacy assessment instruments for each business, developed pre- and posttests, identified workplace competencies, developed curriculum, selected training instructors, recruited students, scheduled classes, pretested students, and measured student achievement on ongoing key competency checklists and on posttests at the completion of the courses. Ninety percent of the employees who completed a course satisfactorily demonstrated the competencies. (The document includes samples of the competency checklists and posttests, a profile of participants by site, and a project evaluation report.) (CML
