This week on Engage, we profile several nonprofit organizations that focus on building literacy in America. Broadly speaking, literacy is defined as the ability to read, write, and speak in English at a proficient level in order to function in society and on the job. It is a key aspect of today’s workforce development and job retraining programs. We begin our show with a one-on-one conversation with returning co-host Lisa Dietlin of Dietlin & Associates about the issues related to literacy in our communities. Joining us are guests Bernie Steiger--Executive Director of Literacy DuPage, Marc
