This guide contains the materials needed to conduct a 3-day workshop that is part of a program to train Quinsigamond Community College (QCC) staff to deliver on-site workplace education (WE) programs. Presented first is an overview explaining the orientation program's agency-based, site-specific, and subject-specific components. The next three sections contain outlines for conducting workshop sessions on the following topics: QCC's mission and role in the community, concepts of adult learning, guiding principles of WE, program development, roles/responsibilities of planning teams, training planning teams, functioning in a business setting, delivering WE instruction, analyzing basic skills, developing learning activities, and evaluating programs. Each session outline contains the following: time and materials required, objectives, and steps in conducting the session.
