Integrated Job Skills and Reading Skills Training System.

Abstract : An exploratory study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of determining the reading demands of Navy jobs using a methodology that both identifies the type of reading tasks performed on the job and the level of general reading skill required to perform that set of reading tasks. Next, a survey was made of the Navy's job skills training program, career counseling system, and General Education Development System. Based on the results of these two efforts, a general plan was designed outlining the initial development of a job-related reading training program and its later integration into the Navy's job skills training program.
