Hi again folks,

Some of you may remember that NSC partnered with AIR to do a study based on PIAAC data a couple of years ago, Foundational Skills in the Service Sector. We looked at people currently employed in the service sector (retail, hospitality, healthcare) who had limited foundational skills.

I ended up doing a presentation at the PIAAC research conference last December, and they've just released the video. If you are a visual/auditory learner and would prefer 12 minutes of talking to having to read a long report, you're in luck! Here's the link. I start at 14 minutes 30 seconds in.
