| 520 | |a Mercer County Community College (New Jersey) and six small businesses used federal grant money to develop a model program of workplace literacy that would assist 600 adult workers with inadequate basic skills in performing their jobs. In analyzing the overall skills of the work force, the literacy audit identified these basic skills/literacy deficiencies: oral and written communication within the organizations, limited English proficiency, basic literacy skills, logical/rational thinking skills, and workplace sensitivity and other interpersonal skills. The evaluation design consisted of performance evaluation measures monitoring, impact surveys, student information, and summary evaluation. Curriculum development began with the literacy audit that included use of the DACUM (Developing a Curriculum) process. An orientation and assessment program was conducted. Six training cycles were conducted at the facilities. The evaluation showed that benefits for the six companies included the following: increased self-esteem; a better informed, more participatory employee; improved communication skills; increased occupational mobility and career opportunity; and improved employee and work site safety records. Results of a student survey strongly supported employees' satisfaction with a work-based education program geared for their needs. (Appendixes and attachments include a third-party evaluation, curriculum overview, course outlines, sample training schedule, surveys, and four DACUM charts.) (YLB) | ||
