Classrooms in the Workplace: Workplace Literacy Programs in Small- and Medium-Sized Firms
(1993)
Abstract
Hollenbeck, using a combined qualitative/quantitative approach, estimates the linkage between workplace literacy programs and the reason for their existence - increased productivity requirements. He utilizes in-depth case studies as well as a large database to look at the costs and benefits of such programs, also the determining factors for why firms choose to implement literacy programs.
