Functional Literacy: Our Newest Venture


Volunteers from Manpower help hone students' job interviewing skills.
 
Adult learners with a GED, or those who have low-level reading or English skills, often lack other practical abilities like utilizing a computer or managing finances. In order to help students advance beyond the classroom, LSW has launched a new program known as Functional Literacy. The program has three core areas: computer literacy, financial literacy, and workforce readiness.
