Description Workplace Literacy Training provides a unique opportunity for employees to learn to speak English, read, write or calculate company materials required for their jobs. This customized program teaches employees skills and strategies to be functional and successful in their work environment and to use these skills on the job. Workers use company materials to develop proficiency in problem solving, reading, writing, and understanding work orders, memos, and instructions. There are language classes for employees who need to communicate with others in English. All of these classes help workers who have difficulty performing their job because they lack the basic skills required to handle work requirements.
Many companies have workers who have difficulty communicating on the job in English.
This may lead to a breakdown in interaction between fellow workers and managers. The program focuses on understanding others and being understood. Customized reading programs help employees who are unable to read and interpret work orders, instructions, memos, safety sheets or other company material. Basic classes use company materials to develop reading skills needed for such daily activities as interpreting instructions and completing forms. Higher level programs provide strategies for reading more technical materials with ease, understanding, and speed.
