Preparing for Work: An EFF Work Readiness Course

Training for Instructors in Adult Education and Workforce Development

 

August 28 and 29, 2007

Martha O'Bryan Center

Nashville, Tennessee

 

Preparing for Work, developed by Equipped for the Future at the Center
for Literacy Studies, University of Tennessee, is a skills-based course
designed for implementation in organizations and agencies involved in
preparing their clients and students for entry level work. Each of the
instructional modules that comprise the Preparing for Work course has
integrated the specific SCANS tasks (Secretary's Commission on Achieving
Basic Skills) and the EFF Content Standards, identified on the National
Work Readiness Credential (NWRC) profile.

 

The learning activities within the curriculum, designed to model
authentic, work related experiences and tasks, provide opportunities for
learners to apply the skills being taught, with an added focus on how
skills transfer from one situation or context to another as individuals
advance along a career path.
