Based on a program conducted by Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute, Hudson, North Carolina, this handbook provides guidelines and suggestions for developing a workplace literacy program. The handbook is organized in four sections. The first section introduces the idea of developing a workplace literacy program, including fund-raising and designing the project. The preparation and implementation phase of the literacy project is described in the second section. Topics covered include educating industrial personnel, recruiting and selecting students, scheduling, recruiting and training instructors, developing and implementing the curriculum, class management, selecting and training tutors, and equipment and courseware. Project evaluation is examined in the third section of the handbook. Evaluation methods suggested are student and instructor surveys, student testing, and management surveys. The final section offers suggestions for replicating the project. Extensive appendixes include an outline of steps for implementing the project, a job description for the project coordinator, a training outline, blank forms, a training schedule, scope and sequence of reading instruction, readability ratings of selected adult basic education materials, student interview forms, lesson plan and quarterly report forms, questionnaires, a printout of the results of the first implementation of the project, and replications of news items pertaining to literacy.
