Integrating Communication and Skills Training.

Bean, Robert

Open Letter, v5 n1 p17-30 1994

Discusses the need for effective basic language, literacy, numeracy and other communication skills to support all workforce development programs. The general cultural bias towards these programs has marginalized them and is reflected in policy, curriculum and practice. Adjustments are needed in the approaches to the new climate of workplace education. (four references) (CK)
