Greetings!
My organization is interested in moving our Workplace
ESOL program from a free, grant-funded status to a
paid, contract status.  At present, in order to
qualify for our program, employers have to hire a
certain number of refugees after which ESOL classes
are offered to them and any other employees needing
English instruction.  
I would like to hear from others who may have gone
through this process in some way.  How did you do it? 
What steps did you take?  What would you do again? 
what would you change?  
Also, what fees did you or do you charge for such
services?  Did you charge per instruction hour?  If
so, how did you figure in pre- and post-assessment? 
How did you sell a program so that employers would be
willing to pay for it?  
I welcome any comments, suggestions or stories.  Thank
you.
