- Summary:
-
A review was conducted of a project to teach, upgrade, and improve the literacy skills of employees of ITT Sheraton Hotels in Hawaii. The project offered three basic modules on workplace literacy skills: English as a second language, basic skills, and General Educational Development Test preparation. It served a total of 534 employees from May 1, 1990 to February 29, 1992 through individual tutorials, classes, and workshops. The evaluation determined that participants improved their job-related literacy skills. The project successfully used job-related materials to train employees for their jobs and to cross-train them for other jobs. Barriers to participation were removed by making the programs free and convenient and by providing time for employees to participate. All partners--University of Hawaii at Manoa's College of Education, ITT Sheraton Hotels, and other colleges and employers--were actively supportive of the project. The evaluation showed that the project served 67 percent of the targeted population of 800 employees; however, it was thought that the goal had been set too high. Project information was shared with a variety of college, employer, and government groups, and information was published in newsletters and newspapers.
