>Thank you, Donna for your welcoming message.  The reason I subscribed 

>to the Workplace Literacy Discussion List is because I work in 

>Community Support Services for a non-profit that works with Latino 

>immigrants and we are trying to launch an ESL program that includes 

>topics relevant to life and adapting to the culture of a new country.  

>Workplace literacy, in my opinion, is probably one of the most 

>important and fundamental skills for non-English speaking adults who 

>are trying hard to support a family and navigate a foreign system.  I 

>am researching the internet and talking to other local non-profits 

>about curriculum, resources, and how to start an effective ESL program 

>that includes topics not only in workplace literacy but also housing,

education, and financial literacy as well.

>Does anyone have ideas about websites/resources for workplace literacy 

>for immigrants?  Maybe even curriculum geared to those in construction, 

>maintenance, and housekeeping?

>

>Also, skills that will help one to move to higher positions and build a 

>resume that stands out?

>

>These are the topics that I would be most interested in receiving more 

>information and I appreciate any time and effort taken to respond.  

>Thank you!
