I agree with the sentiments of this post.  As the original questioner 
acknowledged, we all know that workplace classes are more successful if 
employees are paid as well.  Although it may not be easy to convince 
employers to do this, experience has taught me that where they have to be 
cajoled into seeing the value of classes and don't make an investment, 
classes are likely to fail.  Often, especially where shift workers are 
concerned, the class schedule, for example, won't be considered and employees 
will find it difficult to attend consistently as their schedule changes 
frequently without regard to times for instruction.  If an employer can't 
value the classes enough at the outset, problems that domm the program are 
likely ahead.  DD
