The Consortium for Worker Literacy is made up of a group of New York City unions that are providing literacy education to workers and their families in order to help them adjust to a radically changing labor market. The consortium operates a degree program for workers in collaboration with the City University of New York. At a different academic level, the consortium provides basic education, high school equivalency, and English-as-a-Second-Language programs. The consortium has grown to include eight unions. The report is a summary of the consortium's administrative structure, pedagogical philosophy, student population, and student recruitment and retention rates. Curricular innovations are described and summaries of data on increased reading and language skills are presented. Staff development activities and the City University of New York Worker Literacy Project are also outlined. Most data reported are for the consortium's first year only. Appended materials include the agenda of a staff training workshop and the schedule of a consortium conference. (Author/MSE) (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education)
