Workplace Literacy Program
Workplace Literacy is the skills employees need to have in order to be successful at work functions and manage the demands of their jobs in a healthy, productive way. Increasing employee skills in the workplace helps provide a foundation for lifelong learning as people and businesses grow together. Improving employees’ skills creates a more productive workforce, a more competitive economy, and more revenue for a company.
If you are a company that employs refugees and immigrants, our sustainable, customized to your business Workplace Literacy program can help you make a lasting impact by:
– enhancing employee literacy
– improving safety and increasing productivity
– reducing turnover and building loyalty
We can help your employees improve their on-the-job English and hone the skills needed to meet the expectations in a specific job cell.
