We can help our LEP students by giving them linguistic skills that will assist them in getting a job, surviving on the job, and thriving on the job.

Getting a Job
To get a job LEP students need to be able to orally give personal information; express ability; express likes and dislikes; and ask and answer questions. They also need literacy skills to interpret a want ad and complete an application form.

Surviving on the Job
To survive on the job, LEP students need to follow oral and written directions; understand and use safety language; ask for clarification; make small talk; and requires reasons. If there are any manuals and job aids involved, they need to be able to locate information; find facts or specifications in text materials; determine the meaning of technical vocabulary; and cross-reference text information with charts, diagrams, and illustrations.

This program was developed by the State of Florida Adult Secondary/GED/VPI Committee of the Practitioners' Task Force, through an Adult Education State Leadership Grant from the Florida Department of Education, Division of Community Colleges and Workforce Education.
