NIFL Glossary of Workforce Education Terms
A Glossary of Workforce Education Terms has been developed by the Core Knowledge Group of the National Institute for Literacy's (NIFL's) Workforce Education Special Collection. The glossary incorporates direct links with further information about many of the terms defined. A Glossary of Acronyms used in workforce education is also included on the same page, after the Glossary of Workforce Education Terms.
To get to the glossary, go to the Workforce Education Special Collection at http://worklink.coe.utk.edu/ . Select the "Glossary" button from the right navigation bar under "Resources by Topic." For the direct link, go to http://worklink.coe.utk.edu/glossaryb.htm
