ProLiteracy, the largest adult literacy and basic education membership organization in the nation, believes that a safer, stronger, and more sustainable society starts with an educated adult population. For more than 60 years, ProLiteracy has been working across the globe to change lives and communities through the power of literacy.

ProLiteracy and Pearson partnered to develop Workforce Atlas, a free online career pathways platform designed exclusively with the adult learner in mind. It is an engaging, intuitive, and learner-friendly platform that adults can use to assess their literacy, numeracy, and career skills and interests. Workforce Atlas is a comprehensive resource intended to “show” rather than “tell” adults about career recommendations suitable for them. The recommendations are based on hundreds of unique occupations informed by the open-source data from O*Net, a constantly-updated source of occupations from the Department of Labor.
