Sperazi, Laura Astrein, Bruce Adult Basic Education Adult Literacy Basic Skills Business Cooperative Planning Cooperative Programs Employees Industrial Training Organizational Effectiveness Program Evaluation Skill Development State Programs Workplace Literacy Site visits to 17 workplace education projects funded in the second year of the Massachusetts Workplace Education Initiative are reported for year 1 and year 2 projects. The year one projects are as follows: EASCO Handtool Company (Springfield), T.J. Maxx Distribution Center (Worcester), laundry workers (Boston/Lynn), AT&T (Lawrence), and Columbia Cable (New Bedford). The year two projects include United Electric Controls (Watertown), Filene's Distribution Center (Natick), nursing homes (Norwood/Marlboro), Boston City/University hospitals (Boston), Mercy Hospital (Springfield), Marriott Hotel (Burlington), City of Worcester employees (Worcester), Sewell Plastics (Leominster), Franklin Hampshire/Wesco Electric and Erving Paper (Greenfield), University of Massachusetts (Amherst), and Franklin Sports (Brockton). The projects are evaluated in terms of the following: program organization; educational component; partnership; and program outcomes and continuation, including institutional change. Recommendations include: (1) the state should organize an orientation to promote greater cooperation and cross-program fertilization; (2) specialized training and technical assistance should be developed for at least one supervisor per program; (3) local partners should design and implement an inventory of community resources; (4) programs should develop a specific strategy and/or tool for a traveling library; (5) programs should assemble a booklet of promising practices, models, etc.; and (6) states should compile lists of exemplary support services.
