________________________________

 Thinking about getting involved in workplace education? In this
two-part workshop, we will explore the many different reasons for
offering workplace education, and how your program can market workplace
education services to employers, unions and workers. We'll review
workplace education funding sources in Massachusetts, identify methods
and resources for researching potential employer and union partners, and
discuss what makes a good partner. We will discuss how to deal with
employer and union expectations, and we'll role play making the first
pitch to a potential employer or union partner.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

:-)        Define what workplace education is and identify reasons for
offering workplace education programs.

:-)        Identify workplace education funding sources in
Massachusetts, especially DOE/ACLS workplace education grants.

:-)        Analyze potential employer and/or union partner perceptions
and expectations for workplace education, and employer / union cultures.

:-)        Develop criteria and identify types of employer and/or union
partners where workplace education is needed and appropriate.

:-)        Identify methods and resources for researching potential
employer and/or union partners.

:-)        Develop presentations/arguments for potential employer and/or
union partners for offering workplace education.
