The series helps adults develop the skills they need to locate and maintain jobs. Workplace Essential Skills (WES), is currently available through videos, workbooks and FREE online lessons. GED Testing Service Executive Director Joan Auchter says "Workplace Essential Skills is one of the best preparation for students who won't be ready to pass the current GED test." Workplace Essential Skills was created for pre-GED (6th to 8th-grade reading level) adult learners. The tapes and workbooks will help students move toward GED-level work-another focus of the LiteracyLink project. We will be coming out with the GED series in August 2001. Many public television stations have already scheduled broadcasts of Workplace Essential Skills [http://www.pbs.org/literacy/stations/stationshome.html] An individual student may tape the broadcasts and use the tape for FREE for use in their home. Please contact your local PBS station and ask if they are airing the series and if they are not please request that they do broadcast it for your community. For more information on the series please see our web page about Workplace Essential Skills at http://www.pbs.org/literacy/ Two Web-based ESL projects are now under development. One will offer intermediate-level English instruction for adult learners. The other will provide online professional development and other resources for adult ESL educators. http://www.pbs.org/literacy/esl/welcome.html If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
