Workplace Literacy Project

This is an Adult Basic Education operated in partnership with Literacy Volunteers and Advocates.  Workplace Literacy provides training in classroom settings at learners' work sites. General curriculum content includes reading, writing, numeracy, oral communication, reasoning, problem solving and other skills. A unique feature of the program is that specific learning goals are developed by students and their supervisors in collaboration with project staff. These goals address particular workplace competencies identified as critical to increased productivity and job proficiency. For more information on workplace literacy, contact Annette Banks at (202) 269-6623.
