Looking for a Job, or Trying to Keep the One You've Got?

Every aspect of finding, acquiring and maintaining a job requires basic reading and writing skills. Most jobs require the applicant to read at or above a 10th grade reading level. Despite the need for literacy skills in the workplace, it has been reported by the National Institute for Literacy that more than 20% of adults read at or below a 5th grade level - far below the level needed to earn a living wage.

With the tight job market and suffering economy there are several reasons why improving your literacy skills is so important:

1. Need to increase basic writing and spelling skills to fill out applications and create resumes.
2. Need to increase reading ability to read materials associated with the job, most of which are at a high school level.
3. Uncertain economy and job market has created a desire and need to improve job skills to maintain employment or open other opportunities.
4. Need to improve reading rate and efficiency to accomplish tasks in a timely manner for job security.
5. Need to improve reading/writing abilities to increase the opportunity for advancement within the company.
