The Literacy Landscape in the Beltway & in Business
FTI Consulting, commissioned by ALL IN
To explore the potential disconnect between the reality of adult literacy in the U.S. and the conceptions of both business and the Beltway, ALL IN partnered with FTI Consulting to conduct a survey of 500 employers across the United States and 200 policy influencers in Washington, D.C. to quantify the scale of the challenge and identify possible solutions. Importantly, the voices and experiences of learners are essential in any research on adult literacy. To incorporate their perspectives and connect with their lived experience, FTI also conducted a focus group with adult learners and a series of in-depth interviews with adult educators and experts from the field.
