More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The Workplace Skills Enhancement Project was provided by the Seattle-King County Private Industry Council in Partnership with the Employment Opportunities Center and the Refugee Federation Service Center. Of the 150 participants in the program, 137 were Asian. Workplace literacy training was generally advertised as a voluntary program available to employees who were interested in developing their English skills. Supervisors of participants tended to note improvement in the areas of basic skills, interpersonal communication with co-workers and supervisors, willingness to ask questions and accept criticism, test-taking skills, and job-specific vocabulary. Gains in grammar, reading, and writing skills were not as great as in some of the other areas and were affected by the need for more than 40 hours of training. Of the 106 participants interviewed, all indicated that the training was beneficial. (The document includes external evaluation reports; curriculum outlines identifying competencies, indicators, benchmarks, and means of measurement; an employer or supervisor follow-up checklist; worksheets for grammar skills; and copies of newspaper articles about the program.)
