The Workforce Education LAB (Learning Activities Bank) is an interactive
resource of work-related basic skills lessons for use by instructors in
the workplace or in traditional adult education programs and by adult
learners.
The LAB is funded by Verizon and is a part of LINCS (Literacy Information and
Communication System), a project funded by the National Institute for
Literacy. Southern LINCS and Verizon Links Virginia for Literacy are developing the
LAB in partnership. The LAB is a part of the Southern LINCS special
collection of resources on workforce education.
The purpose of the Workforce Education LAB is to collect and distribute
high-quality Web-based learning activities that focus on the basic skills
and knowledge adults need to be effective in the 21st Century workplace.
Instructors can find learning activities developed by other instructors
and submit their own learning activities to the bank. The Workforce
Education LAB helps instructors plan each step of a work-related learning
activity and links to current frameworks for the skills and knowledge
adults need at work including SCANS (Secretary's Commission on Achieving
Necessary Skills), EFF (Equipped for the Future), GED (General Educational
Development). Learners can use the site to interact directly with
Web-based learning activities.
