Building Essential Skills for the Ohio Building and Construction Industry. Final Report.
Pritz, Sandra G.; And Others
The Center on Education and Training for Employment (CETE) at the Ohio State University worked in partnership with the Ohio State Building and Construction Trades Council (OSB&CT) to develop and deliver customized workplace literacy services for local union members in six major Ohio cities (Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Dayton, and Akron). A partnership board of OSB&CT and CETE staff was formed to oversee the following program activities: literacy skills assessment; development of an integrated two-strand basic skills curriculum that included literacy and numeracy strands and an instructor training program and the development of training materials; development/delivery of support services to reduce barriers to participation; participant recruitment; assessment of participants' needs; implementation and evaluation of the basic skills program; and dissemination of program information. Approximately 360 participants' received the job-specific basic skills required to be able to participate in union-sponsored technical skills enhancement training. Program instructors and participants alike were very enthusiastic about the program. (Appendixes constituting approximately 80% of this document contain the following: DACUM [Developing a Curriculum] Enhanced Literacy Task Analysis; job description for part-time instructor position; summary instructor/program information; participant information and pretest/posttest scores; reports for the spring and fall 1994 sessions and winter and spring 1995 sessions.)
