An internship program, created by the English Department at Saint Cloud (Minnesota) State University, is designed to respond to the current need for an improvement in the workplace literacy of many American workers. The internship and concurrent colloquium provide a crucial link between theory and practice, enabling learners to reflect critically and philosophically about their own and each other's practice, as well as workplace literacy practices in general. The program is intended to turn the English major at Saint Cloud State University into a vehicle for service in the organizational environment of the 21st century. Interns will receive both theoretical instruction and practical experience in the following: adult learning styles; theory and practice of adult education; formal and informal diagnostic methods; workplace literacy issues; small-group facilitation and communication; program planning and management; assessment methodologies and ethics; and articulation of individual and program goals and accomplishments. Successful interns will be equipped to move into other organizational sites in the private or public sector and become productive members of a workplace literacy team. The internship component of the program not only addresses current problems of literacy in the workplace but creates a new cohort of well-prepared workplace educators with practical experience. (RS)
