2010 - Ryt-way believes in empowering our employees. Five years ago, we began offering free on-site ESL classes in cooperation with the Lakeville School District’s Adult Basic Education (ABE). These classes have proven successful in improving the lives of our employees and are still offered today.
Beyond the ESL program, Ryt-way management further recognized the potential win-win of offering more job-specific training to our employees in the hopes of preparing them to move into higher paying positions in our Company. We again partnered with Lakeville ABE to create a Work Skills Training Program to teach employees job-related terminology as well as reading, math, and communications skills needed to be able to advance within our Company. Those who complete and successfully pass this course receive company-sponsored incentives. Many have also been rewarded with a promotion into higher paying positions within our Company.
Ryt-way was honored for our Work Skills Training Program by The Minnesota Literacy Council* at their 2010 “Sharing the Power” Conference. For more information on this award program or the Minnesota Literacy Council, please check out their website at www.themlc.org/sharing.
*The Minnesota Literacy Council is a statewide, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the basic English and literacy skills of adults and children. Our mission is to share the power of learning through education, community building, and advocacy.
