Document Use at Work
SkillPlan’s Document Literacy and The Language of Documents are now bundled
together as a set in this new presentation, Document Use at Work. Together, the two
provide a thorough introduction to using documents, an essential skill. The need for
people to come to a job work-ready in a competitive environment increases the need for
training in essential skills. Assumptions about worker competence in using schedules,
catalogues, manuals, schematics, production charts and other forms of workplace
documents are just that, assumptions. The reality for many is that learning the job
means figuring out the paperwork – or computer screens, or LED displays – that are an
integral part of jobs today. And some of that learning can be done in the multitude of
classes that focus on employability, and also, for the successfully hired, in critical
workplace training. Workplace educators and company trainers are indeed responding to
the demands of the amazing learning curves some workers face. They are preparing
themselves for an area that may bring with it a new skill set, the deliberate teaching of
the skills of document use. Document Use at Work serves a need by taking a close look
at the intricacies of document classification and structure. It is a serious attempt to
address the learning of this most fundamental of essential skills.
