Discussed in the first section are the scope and purpose of work force education, work force education participants, types of basic skills problems and solutions, and the need for competency-based basic skills training. The second section covers program coordination, development of an action plan, as well as recruitment and provides a checklist for workplace literacy partnerships and a copy of the on-site workplace literacy agreement between the Polk County, Florida, school board and companies contracting for training services.

It includes a table of motivation techniques, a workshop outline and instruction materials for a supervisor's training workshop, sample employer questionnaires to assess training needs, guidelines for conducting a literacy audit, and task analysis worksheets.
