Testimonials
See below what employers and trainees are saying about the program:

"Our company had a great experience working with the Kent County Literacy Council.  Our employees made improvements which were measured with pre- and post-class testing.  The costs were minimal, and the impact on our workforce was great!  Thank you Kent County Literacy Council for bringing such a valuable service to our company and West Michigan community."

-Kristin Clark, Human Resource Manager


“We made up the money we spent on this program by the amount of time saved when our employee began understanding work instructions better. This is THE English language training program for businesses in West Michigan.”

-Ron Eberhardt, Executive Director of Community Rebuilders


“Every employee that is able to communicate better, better to communicate his ideas, better to function within the team system, is saving you thousands of dollars. The bottom line is that the little money that you put into this program, you will see results.”

-Kenyatta Brame, Sysco Food Services of Grand Rapids



“Thank you very much for the terrific work that you do. [The English Language Learning employees] are working more productively and safely.  Our production quality level has increased, as we all communicate better together.  Students are asking more questions at work, and taking more of an interest in their job and in the company.  All of the students have an increased level of confidence and satisfaction in their job… Thanks again for the improvements you've made for our employees, and for Model.”
