Thank you very much for sending this information; even though I am just teaching Beginning Level English to Immigrants to Canada; my boss is seeking contracts for Job Readiness English. This information is extremely interesting and useful.

  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
