Congratulations to the WorkReady! RFP Award Winners
Literacy Texas congratulates the WorkReady! RFP Award Winners: Literacy Advance of Houston, the South Texas Literacy Coalition and the Plano Family Literacy Program. Literacy Texas is pleased to announce that the Verizon Foundation funded workforce literacy program, WorkReady! training and training manual for teachers, will benefit these three Texas communities in May and June of this year.
WorkReady! is a unique workforce readiness training manual and training tool developed for adult learners who are currently enrolled in literacy programs such as Adult Basic Education, GED preparedness or English as a Second Language. WorkReady! was developed by a national literacy expert, Margaret Doughty of Literacy Powerline. It guides administrators, instructors, tutors and students of community-based literacy programs through a process of infusing workforce literacy into the standard literacy curriculum.
Literacy Texas issued the WorkReady! RFP in January 2011.
