Some of you have asked about work-based projects. Fees
may be charged for these services (and counted as program income).
Work-based project learners are enrolled in a
State-designated program that has a goal of achieving specific
workplace-related literacy skills and is limited to 12–30 total instructional
hours. Programs do not collect the core outcome measures on students designated
as work-based project learners, and these learners are counted separately in
NRS tables. This measure is included in the NRS to allow States and programs to
serve learners who have a short-term learning need without having a detrimental
effect on performance of the core outcome measures.
Workplace literacy programs are designed to
improve the productivity of learners through improvement of basic literacy, ASE
skills, and English language skills needed in the workplace. There is no instructional
time limit on these programs. Workplace literacy students are counted and
treated like all other students in the NRS. (From Quick Guide to the NRS).
