Leonard,

We at Creative Workplace Learning (CWL) have been conducting English as a
Working Language programs in businesses for close to 20 years. CWL is a
subsidiary of Continuing Education Institute (CEI). CEI received 3 National
Workplace Literacy grants from the US Department of Education. All included
EWL classes. Two of the grants were in healthcare and the 3rd was for
manufacturing. I am attaching for your information a power point
presentation which describes the methodology we use; a report on an
evaluation of an EWL program in a distribution center; and an article from
the Boston Globe's on line publication - bostonworks.com. I would be very
pleased to answer any questions you might have and to offer my assistance.

Hello to All List Members,

 

I am new to the list and have been charged with writing a pilot proposal to
begin offering Literacy Services, mainly ESL, on site with many of the
employers we currently work with here in NYC.  I am certainly glad to see
that this is a discussion that has been on the minds of many of you on the
list serve but, I would love to know if anyone on the list has a model that
is currently working that they would be willing to share with me as I begin
to work on this issue.  If there is such a document of even bulleted
pointers about implementation, service models, employer buy-in and
investment, curriculum development, etc that would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Leonard E. Battle
