Title:Strengthening state adult education policies for low-skilled workers
Source:http://www.workingpoorfamilies.org/pdfs/WPFP_po...
Date:2007
Organization:The Working Poor Families Project
Short Description:At a time when employers increasingly need better educated and skilled workers to succeed, too few states have taken significant actions to improve their adult education and literacy efforts. This report will briefly describe what can be done and offer recommendations for strengthening state policies.
Annotation:The Working Poor Families Project (WPFP) supports efforts of state nonprofit organizations to strengthen state policies that can help low-income workers achieve economic security and become productive participants in the local economy. WPFP encourages states to focus on adult education policies and programs, which are typically supported through state and federal resources. At a time when employers increasingly need better educated and skilled workers to succeed, too few states have taken significant actions to improve their adult education and literacy efforts. This report will briefly describe what can be done and offer recommendations for strengthening state policies.
