"Virtual" One-Stops In DE Delaware is creating virtual WIA one-stop centers that can link adult learners with services and instruction available statewide. Delaware's fourteen WIA partners, many already working together, are negotiating virtual one-stops for customers. A person walking into an education, labor, or health and human services program site will be linked to needed services by a "virtual conversation," teleconference or phone call. Every State building, shopping mall and college in Delaware already has a kiosk providing links to locating services locally. These also will be used by the new one-stop system. LVA Programs Have Economic Impact Literacy Volunteers of America's (LVA's) programs have a positive economic impact according to LVA's recently unveiled study by the firm of A.T. Kearney. The project's findings indicate that every dollar spent by LVA creates a return to the U.S. economy of about $11. Tutors can further improve the return by donating their time. The study also shows that students are very satisfied with economic improvements they have realized associated with LVA classes and are satisfied with the quality of instruction.
