Get NOT Out of Your Life
Ever hear the words, "you"re not smart enough,"or 
"you're just not what we're looking for"? But when you "get not out of your life," a negative comment becomes a positive mantra. Suddenly "you're smart enough," and "you're just what we're looking for."
In February 2011, Regional Partnership joined other workforce boards in a regional campaign to promote literacy awareness.Colorful posters encourage people
to eliminate the "not" in order to achieve success. Sometimes learning a new skill or updating an old one
is all you need to "get not out of your life."
Literacy & Lifelong Learning Resource Guide
To compete in today's labor market, workers need the ability to read and write English and to have certain skills. The TriadWorks Literacy and Lifelong Learning Resource Guide can help you find the right literacy, career or technical education program to help you meet your goals. Local organizations and community colleges from Alamance, Montgomery, Moore, Orange, and Randolph are represented along with other counties in the TriadWorks region.

Development
of a regional comprehensive literacy initiative.
If illiteracy were a virus, it would already be a pandemic
in the regions.
This problem is the biggest obstacle
to achieving a competitive workforce
advantage. Responding to it will require a strategy
that focuses on making
the connection between the problem of illiteracy and
citizens’ everyday
lives. The objective would be to encourage people to
identify literacy opportunities for their existing philanthropic
projects, and to ask people to give time and dollars
to help strengthen established literacy programs for
adults and children.
Any campaign must be a comprehensive
effort that
encompasses the full developmental range from birth
to adulthood as
intervention at all levels is a critical priority.
