This directory, which is based on data collected in 1993 and 1995 through surveys distributed to employers and educational providers throughout Ohio, is designed as a resource for employers wishing to review established basic skills training programs and locate other Ohio employers who have had first-hand experience with such programs. The guide is divided into three parts. Parts 1-2 contain information about a total of 77 employer-driven basic skills programs that was obtained in surveys conducted by the Ohio Literacy Network in 1995 and 1993, respectively. Each program description contains some/all of the following: company name, address, contact person, primary type of business, and number of employees and whether those employees are unionized; program details (when the program was started, whether it is still operating, and how many individuals have been trained to date); funding sources; the program's initial assessment procedures, services, and methods; training location; program benefits; educational provider's name/address; brief narrative focusing on topics such as problems encountered/overcome, unique features of the program, and factors in its success; and advice to other employers wishing to initiate similar programs. Part 3 contains appendices listing employers by country, employers by size, and educational providers. (MN)
