The Commission developed a two-part adult legal literacy curriculum for ESOL classes (English for Speakers of Other Languages) entitled The Right To Work: Understanding Immigrant Employment Rights. The two 3-hour lessons are being delivered in ESOL classes at public libraries, community colleges, and workforce development agencies reaching individuals likely to experience employment discrimination due to their national origin or citizenship status, while advancing their language proficiency essential for job acquisition, retention and advancement.
