Here in Texas, we are currently responding to state legislation and strategic planning requiring us to identify VESL curricula that are responsive to targeted industry sectors here in Texas. One of these sectors is health care. Your questions are excellent. I hope you will share the info you gather.

What criteria is used to identify good candidates? 3) Are programs generally job-specific or general? 4) What is the typical program length? Are any self-paced? 5) What is the outcome of the program-- certificate, job placement in target areas, other? 6) Are there any great success stories you have heard of regarding training ELL health-care workers? 7) Have you noticed any specific needs that are not being met by current programs? 8) What curricula is used? Any inclusion of computer-based training? Thanks for assistance. You can reply directly to me at agillespie@prolinguanashville.com or to the group.
