REEP/Hotel Workplace Literacy Project. Evaluation Report. 1988-1990 Grant Period.
Peterson, Morris
The Arlington Education and Employment Program (REEP)/Hotel Workplace Literacy Project served 230 functionally illiterate adults working in hotels and a real estate maintenance firm in Virginia. Job-related English and math, citizenship preparation, and work awareness instruction was provided. An evaluation found that: (1) the project effectively addressed the needs of employees with limited proficiency in English who were in great need of literacy training; (2) trainees' abilities in math were also very limited; (3) both quantitative and qualitative measures of employee performance indicated the project was successful; (4) the most positive project impact was on employee morale and overall performance; (5) the project partnership between the Chamber of Commerce, public schools, and hotels in Arlington, Virginia, was successful; and (6) most supervisors reported that productivity and efficiency increased and that safety improved. Reliable longitudinal data on employee turnover were not available. The project learning center was considered a model operation. (The document contains 22 figures.) (CML)
