Book excerpt: This report (66 pages), from Tracy DeFoe and Diana Twiss, describes the findings from an action research project investigating strategies for developing sustainable, practical workplace literacy programmes. The goal was to find ways to help employers understand that literacy and essential skills should be part of everyday workplace training (instead of one-off or special events). The researchers found that the secret to sustainable programmes is listening to stakeholder needs, understanding the client's business and the environment in which they operate. The researchers summarise the project findings into four lessons: listen and learn, engage people in embedding, embed every which way, and repeat the cycle again. Table of contents: * Lesson one: Listen and learn * Lesson two: Engage people in finding opportunities to embed * Lesson three: Embed every which way (in training materials and methods, in work documents and processes, in communications and display, in normal work life) * Lesson four: Repeat lessons one, two and three * Concluding remarks.
