Equipped for the Future's

Preparing for Work: An EFF Work Readiness Course

Training for Instructors in Adult Education and Workforce Development

 

March 11 and 12, 2008

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.

 

In the past year, EFF has offered three nationally advertised trainings
for the Preparing for Work course.  In addition, the course has been
adopted for use in programs in the following locations: Texas; Florida;
Tennessee; Washington, DC; New York; and New Jersey.

 

Please Note: This training is intended for instructors and is not a
training for trainers.
