Workplace

One out of every three American workers does not have the reading, writing and math skills to succeed in the workplace.

American business is estimated to lose over $60 billion in productivity each year due to employees’ lack of basic skills.

Workers with low literacy skills miss more days of work than do their co-workers. As workers’ basic skills improve, so does worker retention.

Do you have good employees that resist change, fail to fill out incident reports and complete paperwork, and have difficulty passing a safety test?

You can bring basic skills training to your workplace by contracting with the Literacy Council of Tyler to upgrade your workers’ reading, writing, math and English speaking skills.

If you have questions about initiating a workplace education program for your current employees, call Amelia Gilley at the Literacy Council of Tyler, 903-533-0330 or email her at gilley @lcotyler.org.
