First Virtual Tutor Meeting on August 17
The
Literacy Place: August 2020
Our first virtual tutor meeting will be
on August 17 via Zoom. It has been some months since we've held our regular
tutor meetings, as they were previously held in the library. Now, we will hold
our meetings online in order to check in and collaborate with each other. Since
tutors are the backbone of our Adult Literacy
Services, these meetings will focus on tutors' needs and concerns. During
this month's meeting, we will discuss adapting to virtual tutor sessions,
goal-setting for learners, and the many workbooks and resources the ALS program
offers.
Workforce Literacy Workshops in Development
The COVID-19 public health crisis has
worsened an already high unemployment rate in Imperial County--27.3% as of June
2020, according to the Employment Development Department of California. Because
of this urgent need, the Adult Literacy Services program is responding by
developing several workshops for adult learners. These workshops, which begin
in September, will aim to help learners build confidence, explore career
options, prepare for interviews, build their communication skills, market their
skills, and conduct effective job searches.
Our literacy program is also working
with existing community organizations to help learners receive the support they
need during these times. The main purpose of these workshops is to assist
learners with employment goals and direct them to the social services they
need. READ
