This refugee women's job preparation curriculum is designed to provide facilitators with a sourcebook of information and activities to assist refugee and immigrant women in gaining unsubsidized employment. It specifically addresses the needs of women with children and the impact of employment on home and family life. The curriculum materials integrate information and discussion about employment issues with language and literacy practice activities. Specific objectives are to assist participants in identifying goals, skills, interests, and personal strengths, explore the impact of employment on home and family life, discuss the effects of welfare reform, practice job search skills, and discuss the culture of the American workplace. Each of the 11 units unit contains warmup activities to introduce the topics and gather participant input, followed by group discussions, small group, and individual work. There are activities for structured practice in reading, writing, and speaking. Speakers from the community and from agencies and field trips to potential work and training sites are integrated into the curriculum. An introductory section provides suggestions for classroom teaching and field trips (MSE) (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education)
