Bridge the Communication Barrier and Empower Your Workforce

Community Literacy Centers offer classes for employers looking to upskill their workforce and increase employee retention

A Strong Workforce Equips Employees at All Levels

As an employer, you face challenges every day. One of the most critical being the communication barrier that can hold back even the most dedicated of employees. Can you imagine how those employees who struggle with literacy, language and reading comprehension could succeed if these challenges no longer stood in their way?

Through our Workplace Learning Solutions (WLS) fee-for-service program, our services are designed to address these challenges head-on by offering programs designed to improve language skills and to help people with learning obstacles succeed. By partnering with us, you invest in programs that not only boost your employee retention but also create a more inclusive environment. Whether your employees need help with English classes, earning their high school diploma, or want to become United States citizens, CLC provides the expertise and passion to help make a difference in the people who are in your workforce.

Why Our Approach Works

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to learning and communication barriers. That’s why at Community Literacy Centers we meet your employees where they are. We interview each of them individually and see what their goals are, where they feel they need support, and assess what learning conditions best suit them. By doing this, we’re able to create programs that work specifically for your employees while bringing transformative learning solutions right to your workplace. Our programs help your staff overcome obstacles, improve their language, literacy and computer skills, and gain the confidence needed for professional and lifelong growth. By improving these fundamental skills, you’re not only addressing the communication barrier, but also significantly boosting employee retention.

CLC can tailor instruction to incorporate company-specific materials such as personnel procedures, safety manuals, equipment documentation into our curriculum. Options for other language instruction may be available. We can work with your company to help incentivize employee participation. This comprehensive approach creates a supportive environment that impacts your company culture. By partnering with CLC, you’re investing in the success of your employees – and by extension, the success of your business.

Thanks to all of you for making all of this possible. We can speak, read and write the English language. We know that with it we will be able to reach opportunities and we will have a better life.

I really want to improve my reading so I can help my kids. I couldn’t help my oldest, but it isn’t too late to help my youngest.

CLC is a great place to learn and to help you set some goals. It’s a wonderful class that will teach you how to read. It can show you new things that you will need to know in the world.

I was in the eighth grade in a special education class. One day, the teacher asked me to read out loud in the class. I tried, but it was too hard. Then she said out loud in class, “You should go back to the first grade.” I walked out of class crying and I never went back to school. Now I’m at CLC. I can read much better and out loud. Sometimes I think about going back to that teacher and showing her that I can be up in front of the class and read out loud. I am twenty-seven and I feel good about myself.

I would describe CLC as my second home. The staff makes you feel welcomed. It is a place to get to where you want to go in life.
