Our workforce resources help students in your program identify their career interests, create goals, and land new jobs.
ProLiteracy created the Workforce Development Collection: a free and robust online set of courses to help students thrive in the modern, digital workplace. The courses cover topics such as finding and landing a job as well as the soft skills needed to succeed in the workplace.

- Finding a Job Online
- Applying for a Job Online
- Interviewing for a Job Online
- Using a Word Processor

Additional Workplace Skills Resources
The Workforce Development collection also includes four student-facing courses to prepare adults for the workplace with basics like setting career goals, writing eye-catching resumes, acing an interview, and communicating at work. An online course for teachers includes tips and additional resources to use with students.
Additionally, the Small Business Basics curriculum teaches English and vocabulary for immigrants and refugees in the context of six principles of business entrepreneurship. An online course for teachers guides them through using the downloadable student workbook.
The entire Workforce Development Collection is made possible through grant support from Pitney Bowes.
