"Getting
There" explores learning experiences which will help adults discover
their own values, needs, and skills and how they might fulfill their employment
needs. For adults who are trying to make a transition from welfare to
work or further education, the curriculum combines activities of personal
reflection with research into local job and training opportunities and
practice of job search skills. |

Boston,
MassInstitute for a New Commonwealth (MassINC), 2000 |
This
study reveals that as many as a million adults in Massachusetts who have
already earned HS diplomas still lack the skills needed to contend with
the complexities of modern living. The researchers offer rationales for
increased funding for adult basic education, including its long-term cost
effectiveness, and present several recommendations for program design
and the system as a whole. |
