Abstract | This document contains a collection of direct quotations from the nearly 50 participants at a roundtable on workplace literacy. It also includes an executive summary, a list of participants, a list of related publications, and a synopsis of a presentation made at a follow-up activity.) The participants included business people, literacy experts, educators, and policymakers. They discussed the problems of literacy that confront U.S. employers and employees. Their comments are organized under these topics: (1) the gap between the degree of literacy needed in the workplace and the actual skill level of workers; (2) the questions that arise when one considers possible solutions to the problem; (3) some progress being made; and (4) how the debate about workplace literacy can be sharpened. A synopsis of a presentation made at the National Literacy Summit by William Johnston of the Hudson Institute is also included. (CML) |
