Book Description
This paper argues that adult learning must be embedded in real opportunities to demonstrate knowledge and skill at work, to climb the ladder of learning, and to reap the rewards for doing both. To create this context of hope for workers with who lack basic reading, writing, math and English language skills requires that education and training be delivered in a context of advocacy and action in support of such opportunities. Table of contents: * The context of contextual literacy * Incumbent workers: integrating basic skills and job training in a labor management partnership environment * Sector-based training and education for welfare to work populations * Getting a post-secondary education * Conclusion: lessons from evidence-based strategies for literacy and job training embedded in pro-worker sectoral development strategies.
