Starr,
Are you familiar with the workplace literacy curriculum developed by Vermont
Adult Learning's BEST program a few years ago.  There is a curriculum on
Communication Skills and another that adresses workplace competencies using
the classic Oregon Trail simulation.  There is also Responsive Text software
that simulates the application of literacy, numeracy and problem solving in
the workplace.  The software is experimental and for MAC only.  All these
materials are available through ERIC, and perhaps also from Vermont Adult
Learning.
