Workplace Literacy

Handbooks, postings, schedules, safety notices, pay stubs and policies. They shape your working life more than almost anything else, and most people are left to decode them alone.

Practice it

Short workplace experiences.

These run on the same SkillRise Workday structure as the workplace stories: you arrive, something happens, you decide, and Spark talks it through with you.
