Our project was a longitudinal one, and explored the impact on both learners and their organisations of government-funded workplace programmes designed to increase the literacy skills of employees. 567 learners were involved, and over 53 workplaces. We tested the reading and writing skills of participants at the start of their courses, and then a year and two years later. We also gathered in-depth information on all three occasions about their jobs, learning experiences, education, attitudes to work, and aspirations. At the same time, we interviewed managers, training managers and course tutors. A sub-set of sites and learners were studied and interviewed in greater depth.
