With permission, the original posting is below. I am not at all surprised that employers are not using One-Stops. In our state, at least, business and industry perceived the One-Stop concept to be very self-serving for certain constituencies (i.e. finding a way for some folks to keep their jobs) and never could see what was in it for them as employers. Consequently, they look elsewhere for training for incumbent or potential employees.

Or, is it that the One-Stops are relatively new? Or, are they new? Are potential workers using the One-Stops? If so, how is that working? Where are employers looking for training? Other reactions?? Other perspectives? What's going on out there in One-Stop land across the nation? -- ****************** Barbara Van Horn NIFL-WORKPLACE List Co-Moderator Co-Director, Institute for the Study of Adult Literacy Co-Director, Goodling Institute for Research in Family Literacy College of Education, The Pennsylvania State University 102 Rackley Building, University Park, PA 16802-3202 Phone: 814-865-5876 Fax: 814-863-6108 E-mail: BLV1@PSU.EDU "Moving adult literacy from the Margins to the Mainstream"
