Worker participants are at the heart of what we are all about.  The scope and nature of our participant involvement is repeatedly cited by national leaders in worker education.  No surprise.  For years now, our participants have set high standards across a variety of measures, including levels of peer support in the classroom, skills acquisition, creativity, and workforce engagement.  Participant accomplishments include:      

• Advancing in English fluency
