The Basic Educational Skills Training (BEST) workplace literacy demonstration model was designed to provide adult basic education (ABE) services simultaneously for multiple employers in Maury County, Tennessee. The BEST model focused on job-related instruction. The goal of the program was to achieve increased safety, productivity, and employee morale with decreased absenteeism as a product of improved employee basic skills. Areas of innovation included having multiple employers receive all ABE services simultaneously, determining a class schedule that accommodated workers' schedules without release time, and using a screening tool to identify learning disabled/dyslexic adult remedial readers. Vanderbilt University's evaluation of the program's first 15 months showed that 152 employees and immediate family members were enrolled in basic reading, math, pre-General Educational Development (GED) test preparation, and GED instruction. The program maintained a 73 percent employee retention rate and achieved statistically significant grade-level improvement in reading, language, and math. Eighty-two percent of GED test examinees passed. Employer and employee satisfaction was high and community support was excellent.
