Thank you for the welcome Donna.  

I am the new trainer for the PA Win project with the Institute for the Study
of Adult Literacy at Penn State.  In this position, I will be assisting
adult educators throughout the state with transitioning their workforce
education classroom practices into the workplace setting.  I will also be
assisting those individuals with developing training plans that will ensure
future fee-for-service contracts with area businesses.  

I've joined this discussion list with the hopes of obtaining ideas and
resources that others have found useful in their workforce literacy
practices. 

Angie

Subject: Welcome to the Workplace Literacy Discussion List

Greetings, Angie!  As the moderator of the NIFL Workplace Literacy
Discussion List, I try to send a welcoming message to each new
subscriber.  You are joining after a cross list discussion with the
English Language Literacy discussion list. With the experts that are
regular members of both lists, we mined each others' expertise in
thinking about English Language Learners in the Workplace. If you would
like to review the posts that were part of this discussion, go to the
Workplace list archives at
http://www.nifl.gov/pipermail/workplace/2006/date.html and begin with
Workplace post #404.  

It's always welcome when new subscribers introduce themselves to the
"old" list members and say a little bit about their connections to
workplace literacy and their reasons for joining the list.  I hope you
will take the time to let us get to know you in this way.

This list has been really active in responding to requests of list
members for information or help related to Workplace literacy, and
members often share information about resources and upcoming events.
It's a great place to ask a question or suggest a topic about which you
would like to elicit others' thoughts.  Please feel free to do that
also.

If you have any topics you would like to propose as a focus for a guest
speaker, I would welcome your suggestions.  And let me know of any other
suggestions for the list that you have.

Again, welcome!

Donna Brian, moderator
