Abstract	The Labor Education Achievement Program (LEAP) exceeded its recruitment and enrollment goal for April 1990 to June 1991. The number of union workers receiving services was 697 in 59 classes at 20 sites. Recruitment success was made possible by the use of the communication networks of the Baltimore AFL-CIO Metropolitan Council of Unions and public service announcements. The instructional design for individual classes at various sites was flexible and related to the literacy analysis and needs identified jointly by the project and the local union and management representatives. The project also piloted a computer learning center. Participant support included child care stipends, transportation support, and informal counseling, support, and advocacy. Curriculum guides were developed in food-related industries and health-related occupations. Workplace-specific, competency-based literacy instruction was provided. Retention rates varied from site to site, from a high of 100 percent to a low of 47 percent with a program average of 67 percent. (Appendixes include the following: an evaluation that reports strong collaboration, accessible instruction, and well-established support services as project strengths and measurement of job retention, performance, and advancement as areas needing improvement; media coverage; sample evaluation activities; sample marketing and promotions; recognition ceremony and student awards; and dissemination activities.)
