Workforce Literacy Forum

Forum leader: Michael D. Evans

This forum will explore how tutors can provide instruction to help learners acquire the literacy skills they need to engage in workforce development activities.

Getting a job is a major motivation for many adult learners. In today’s workforce, knowing how to read is a necessary skill to obtain a job, be promoted, or keep a current job.  Workforce literacy includes equipping learners with the vocabulary, reading, writing, and critical thinking skills necessary to become proficient in services provided by workforce development and employment readiness agencies.
