The Read.Write.Act 2012 Virtual Conference? convenes this Thursday and Friday, November 1-2, 2012. ? The conference theme is: LITERACY AS A NATIONAL PRIORITY.
I will be presenting on the topic:? Vocabulary Development for Workplace Communications? on Friday at 1pm EST.
Why Develop Vocabulary?? Vocabulary is fundamental to every other literacy skill and for most communication skills. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers the Job Outlook 2012 report, employers want employees who can communicate.? Here?s how communication skills rated based on a five-point scale:
In my presentation I will discuss how we as? educators and literacy advocates can provide learning opportunities that are relevant for today?s workforce, engaging and appropriate for our population of learners, and that has enough breadth and depth to prepare them to meet their employer?s needs.
The registration fee? for both days is only $25. I encourage you to register, as the wealth of information you?ll receive is well worth the money.? Click here to see the full conference schedule.
I see a countless numbers of students complete vocational training programs in health care, accounting, computer applications, and more who ? despite their high scores on these technical skills ? cannot obtain and/or maintain employment because they?re unable to communicate with employers, co-workers and customers. For some, the employers gives them a try, just to see how it goes; but it?s not long before they?re let go.? We cannot neglect the importance of this skill as a core, foundational employment skill.
I hope you?ll join us for this workshop and conference.? Please check it out.
