Workplace Literacy and Basic Skills Training Program

Free Skills Training ENSURES YOUR ECONOMIC GROWTH 

The Workplace Literacy and Basic Skills Training Program is a partnership of the New Jersey Business & Industry Association, the New Jersey Community College Consortium for Workforce and Economic Development, and the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The partners (representing business, higher education, and state government) came together to ensure New Jersey businesses have a well-trained and highly skilled workforce for future economic growth and prosperity.

HOW IT WORKS:
