This manual is designed to train an in-house steering committee to design and implement a comprehensive, ongoing, worker-driven, workplace learning program. The seven chapters take the projected committee through a full-cycle design process. Each chapter includes an overview, a list of objectives, and a series of action steps to follow, and a mastery process that supports the chapter theme from an entirely different perspective. Mastery processes introduce a larger view, provide inspiration, and offer a variety of tools for personal and group mastery. Chapter 1 orients the group to four major themes important to an understanding of educational activities in the workplace: workplace trends, master learning, literacy, and workplace skills. Chapter 2 describes the steps needed to develop the steering committee into an effective working group. Chapter 3 shows the steering committee how to organize a needs assessment. Chapter 4 offers an array of options to help the steering committee narrow down choices for learning components to suggest to Learning Initiative Teams (LITs). Chapter 5 explores the nature and function of an LIT and offers pointers for creating guidelines for the formation of the teams that will inaugurate the workplace learning program. Chapter 6 links the steering committee and LITs to educational service providers. Chapter 7 leads the steering committee through implementation of the first cycle of LIT activities and its evaluation. Appendixes include a glossary and directories of educational service providers in Central Ohio and of organizations with workplace learning programs. Contains 39 references. (YLB)
