The excellent (if alarming) report of the National Commission on Adult Literacy, “Reach Higher, America,” as well as other research shows that nearly half of American adults lack the skills to hold 21st Century jobs. In response, three organizations – the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers University (which has extensive experience working with states to implement Internet learning for low-skill workers), the Center for Literacy Studies (CLS) at the University of Tennessee (which manages Equipped for the Future (EFF)), and R&D Media Solutions - SF (a San Francisco design and digital media agency) – have developed a web application to meet the work readiness needs of low-skill adults. The website will be launched in June 2009. Once launched, it will be available at no cost to learners, adult education teachers, workforce skills trainers, and the general literacy community. The purpose of BuildingSkills4Work is to equip out-of-school adults and youth with the work readiness skills that will prepare them to qualify for and be successful in better paying entry-level jobs. This project was first demonstrated at the Sloan Center On Innovative Training and Workforce Development Conference in December 2007.
