Job Club/Literacy Education Program Manual.
Robinson, Betty
This manual presents a model with all of the ancillary components that have made the Job Club/Literacy Education Program a successful undertaking for the White Plains (New York) Adult Literacy Program. Section I for administrators focuses on establishing the service (assessing the need, funding, developing linkages, location), managing the program, program objectives, and what the project accomplishes for adult education and for other agencies. A manager's checklist is provided. Section II addresses providing services to the client. It contains a philosophical statement and describes the basic skills component, learning laboratory, the assessment process, and the Job Club component. Other contents include the Job Club philosophy and descriptions of the recruitment/referral process and retention process. Appendixes include a comparison of career counseling and Job Club, staffing, client sequence chart, literacy education sequence chart, Job Club training sequence chart, sample intake schedule, literacy education progress report, Department of Social Service referral letter, Job Club schedule and sample, and a news article on welfare recipients who must work to receive benefits.
