Abstract	The study looks at the role of immigrants in the workforce, status of English language learning in vocational and workforce education, and ways the system can enhance opportunity and productivity for limited-English-proficient adults. It begins by examining characteristics of the current immigrant workforce and future labor requirements. The second chapter discusses the current service delivery system for adult vocational and basic education, focusing on the problem of fragmentation, design of existing major programs, and the funding outlook. Chapter three reviews research and trends in this area over two decades. In chapter four, aspects of program design and planning are examined, including models for integrating language and vocational training, need analysis, development of support and resources, recruitment, multiculturalism, instructional component development, support services, staffing, and program evaluation. The fifth chapter outlines steps in setting up a workplace English-as-a-Second-Language program, presents four models for creating a partnership between an educational organization and workplace, features of the partnership arrangement, need analysis, approaches to curriculum development, and program evaluation. The final chapter lists ten steps for enhancing the state and local role in this aspect of labor force development. Contains 192 references. (MSE) (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education)
