Bridge to Learning and Literacy @ Harvard

The Harvard Bridge to Learning and Literacy is a worker education program open to all hourly employees and to members of the Harvard Union of Clerical and Technical Workers. Employees interested in improving their skills in their current positions or gaining new skills for different positions attend two-hour classes twice a week. Classes are offered on campus during work hours.

The Bridge Program offers classes in the following subjects: literacy, English as a second language (ESL), General Education Development (GED) and Adult Diploma Program (ADP) test preparation, college preparation, computers, and citizenship preparation.

Bridge students may request one-on-one tutorial sessions and career development services as well. Furthermore, the Bridge Resource Center, which is equipped with supplemental English language study books, computers, and audio equipment, is managed by CWD staff and made available to Bridge students before, during, and after typical work hours.
