Foundation Skills
The first step on the road towards workplace and career success.
Success begins with the fundamentals. But many people, whether they're office personnel or industrial workers, lack the mastery of essential math, reading, and communication skills necessary to be successful in the workplace. Fundamental Skills courses cover basic math, reading and writing as well as pre-technical industrial skills such as measurements, blueprint reading, using tools, and quality principles.
You and your employees can choose from a variety of self-paced topical programs that group together related coursework and are designed for flexibility, addressing the professional and personal needs of each student. Like all Penn Foster training systems, Foundation Skills courses are available in print, video or via Computer Based Training (CBT and CD).
