UPCOMING TRAININGS
 
1. The Boss Can't Do That, Can He?  A Training on Health and Safety and
Other Worker Rights 
 
Most students participating in community based ABE and ESOL programs are
working people, many of whom are unaware of the laws that govern the
workplace and provide them rights at work.  This interactive workshop is
designed for ABE and ESOL teachers who are interested in addressing the
very relevant topics of workers rights in their classes, but are
unfamiliar with the laws.

Time:     9: 30am - 1:00pm

3. Immigration Law and Your Adult Learners
 
At this workshop we will discuss common immigration issues,
concentrating on undocumented individuals and their rights. By gaining a

them to get the right kind of help.
