Abstract	This guide assists family literacy and adult education organizations considering ways in which work and learning can be integrated in their educational programs. Part I addresses influences motivating the family literacy and adult education fields to incorporate work-related learning into their efforts. Part II provides a framework for designing high-quality programs that help participants link learning and work. This framework consists of a continuum of contextual learning experiences that vary according to specific dimensions. Part III reviews possibilities and challenges of contextualized learning; highlights learning plans; and suggests how program staff and learners can better understand the skills employers require. Parts IV-VI address design and implementation issues. Part IV focuses on designing the program, developing the curriculum in the classroom and at the worksite, and establishing community connections and partnerships. Part V describes information, general strategies, and specific actions that help family literacy and adult education organizations recruit and organize employers. Part VI addresses implementation issues employers will address in their roles and responsibilities in program planning, start-up, and ongoing implementation. Part VII suggests the following strategies to sustain the effort: assessing program progress, bringing program activities to scale, and marketing the program. Appendixes include 40 endnotes, 40 references, and 11 attachments/additional resource materials. (YLB)
