The 18-month Skills Today for Advancement Tomorrow (STAT) program, a partnership among St. Louis Community College, the St. Louis Public Schools' Adult Basic Education Program, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Missouri, had the following objectives: (1) provide counseling and training for 370 current Blue Cross and Blue Shield workers; (2) develop a training referral system for 60 unemployed disadvantaged adults; (3) develop model assessment and evaluation systems for health care benefits workers; (4) develop and validate competency-based basic skills curriculums; and (5) develop and implement innovative methods for involving workers in all aspects of STAT's program development. During the program, 515 participants were served with classes for the Blue Cross/Blue Shield workers; 60 clients were served through the partnership between the Adult Basic Education program and the STAT program; model assessment tools and model curricula were developed; and worker involvement was encouraged through one-to-one counseling, feedback questionnaires and focus group sessions. Participants from the insurance company improved their performance ratings and customer satisfaction ratings. (Project documents, including questionnaires, a sample curriculum and a list of dissemination activities, are included in the report.) (KC)
