This innovative fee-for-service program was created to meet the diverse needs of Skagit County companies and their employees. To this end, Workplace Literacy partners directly with local businesses, providing classes customized for the company and also for the students. The program offers classes in Spanish as a Second Language, English as a Second Language, or a combination English/Spanish class wherein students learn from both their instructor and from one another. The goals of this program include increased worker satisfaction and retention, increased productivity, and improving participating businesses' ability to adapt to change. Past local partners include: Skagit Gardens Wholesale of Mount Vernon, Tomco Marine Group of La Conner, SeaBear Smokehouse of Anacortes, Janicki Industries of Sedro-Woolley, and Washington Alder of Mount Vernon.
