Hi Everybody, 

I have a colleague who is desperately trying to locate any information
related to computer literacy in the workplace.  Her main research question
is "What are the benefits to businesses and organizations if they fund
computer literacy training for their employees?" She specifically would like
to find out if there is any relationship between computer literacy and the
enhancement of reading, writing and/or numeracy skills.  She is also looking
for information about companies which have
offered their employees computer literacy training and, if so, what benefits
the companies or organizations received by doing so.

Can anybody out there shed some light on these fascinating questions? Seems
to me that there should be lots of data out there about this but so far we
have had a hard time finding anything specific.

Thanks, in advance, for your help!
