SUMMARY:Workforce Literacy Forum
DESCRIPTION:Forum leader: Rose Fetzer (269) 849-9396 \nThis forum will explore how tutors can provide instruction to help learners acquire the literacy skills they need to engage in workforce development activities. \nGetting 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. We will also discuss various career pathways that are designed to ensure direct access to employment via paid apprenticeships.

SUMMARY:Health Literacy Forum
DESCRIPTION:Forum leader: Doris Ravotas\, Ph.D \nBecause health is a topic that applies to every adult learner\, having tutoring strategies that meet the health goals of learners is important. According to the Partnership for Clear Health Communication\, literacy skills are the strongest predictor of health status\, more than age\, income\, employment status\, education level or racial/ethnic group. \nThis forum will provide strategies of how to provide instruction that imparts health and literacy skills for adult learners. We will also discuss the most recent updates on Covid-19 safety measures and the vaccine. Learn more about the KLC’s Health Literacy programs.
