This report describes procedures for effective development and implementation of workplace literacy programs based on the experience of a partnership among Alabama Southern Community College (Monroeville, Alabama), Boise Cascade (Jackson, Alabama), and Vanity Fair (Monroeville, Alabama). The introductory summary describes the voluntary, after-hours project to improve the basic skills of 539 workers at the two companies in job-related reading and math. Subsequent sections contain the following information: a summary of future work force needs, definition of workplace literacy, the importance of a linkage to total quality management, partner selection, program structure, program promotion, and external factors. Also included are 15 references, a promotional flier, personal profile form, and an external evaluation report. (NLA)
