Welcome to the Workforce Competitiveness Discussion List, a service of the National Institute for Literacy. This list operates in partnership with the Institute for the Study of Adult Literacy at Pennsylvania State University, under the LINCS Workforce Competitiveness Resource Collection grant.
The purpose of this list is to provide an ongoing professional development forum for adult educators who are interested in or provide work-focused basic skills instruction. The focus of this online forum is to discuss issues relevant to providing research- and evidence-based educational services to adults transitioning to the workplace and to incumbent workers; to share information and resources that can be used to inform practitioners about these issues and improve practice; and to enrich and improve public policies related to workforce education and workforce development systems. Topics may include, for example, collaboration with workforce system partners, marketing, program design, instruction, curricula, assessment, evaluation, staff training, funding, research, and policy.
Donna Brian moderates this list. She can be reached at djgbrian@utk.edu.
