Describe how the one-stop delivery system (including one-stop center operators and the one-stop delivery system partners) will ensure that each one-stop center is able to meet the needs of English language learners, such as through established procedures, staff training, resources, and other materials.

Current Narrative:

Florida provides translation services to individuals through staff who speak languages other than English or through interpreter and translation services. Department forms and program information are made available in alternate languages. Local areas are required to make available translation services available in the career centers to individuals with limited English proficiency and English Language Learners.

Florida’s adult education programs offer Adult English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) instruction for adults to improve their English speaking and writing skills but also to improve their academic skills so that they can earn a high school credential and enter postsecondary education to improve their career options. Florida’s one-stop career center partners will collaborate to provide services, resources and referrals to limited English speaking jobseekers.
