Abstract | The Job Network Center of Georgia Southern College provided assistance to the Grinnell Corporation in a partnership agreement addressing illiteracy within Grinnell's work force. A self-contained, modularized curriculum was used to facilitate monitoring of participants' progress and compensating employees for achievement. Other businesses were recruited to participate, but declined, although three Job Training Partnership Act classes did participate in the project. Initial projections for the number of participants in the literacy education program were not reached. A total of 516 employees were screened and 150 completed instruction. Reading and math scores showed gains for all four participant groups. (Appendix A provides database records including pre- and post-test scores for participants. Appendix B is an inventory of hardware and software acquired for use in the literacy learning laboratory created by the project.) (CML) |
