WorkReady! Training Opportunity
Literacy Texas invites you to submit a proposal for a WorkReady! Training in your community. The Verizon Foundation has funded a grant to Literacy Texas to provide the workforce literacy program, WorkReady! for instructors in four Texas communities. WorkReady! is a unique workforce readiness training manual and training tool developed for the traditionally underserved group of adult learners who are currently enrolled in literacy programs such as Adult Basic Education, GED preparedness or English as a Second Language. It guides administrators, instructors, tutors and students of community-based literacy programs through a process of infusing workforce literacy into the standard literacy curriculum.
