Abstract	To address specific workplace literacy needs within the steel fabrication sector in Manitoba, an organizational needs assessment was conducted training manuals were developed using literacy task analysis techniques. The organizational needs assessment assessed the general and workplace literacy tasks and demands of hourly workers at Dominion Bridge and workers' perceptions of the current training practices and need for training in workplace literacy skills. A series of half-hour interviews with 25 workers and focus group discussions with representatives from management, supervisors, and the union were held. According to the respondents, the usual form of training was on the job using a buddy system. The most important types of on-the-job reading were blueprints and drawings. About half the respondents indicated they had some difficulty completing forms and performing some arithmetic operations. Focus groups identified a need for training in reading, writing, and numeracy skills. Recommendations were made for a workplace literacy program at Dominion Ridge and for course content. Clear language manuals were developed for three job operations in the paint department: wheel operator, paint checker, and painter. Literacy task analysis techniques were applied to each job operation in the paint department. (Appendixes include questionnaires, training manuals, literacy task analysis forms, and 14-item bibliography.) (YLB)
