About us
The mission of the Literacy Council of Fort Bend County is to improve family, community and professional lives through adult literacy education. LCFBC serves adults who have made the commitment to help themselves by changing their lives through the literacy program. Our vision is to empower adults through literacy programs including basic literacy, ESL (English as a Second Language), GED preparation, US citizenship preparation, Transitions to post-secondary education and basic computer skills while raising community awareness and expanding outreach initiatives. LCFBC serves those at the lowest levels of literacy, focusing on an ethnically diverse population made up primarily of low to very low-income clientele.

Investment in adult literacy programs is essential for enhancing workforce skills, promoting economic stability, and fostering individual growth. 📚#adultliteracy #workforce
Employers face a growing challenge—too many jobs and insufficient skilled workers. In our latest Market Study: AI & the Future of Work, Sharon Bonney, CEO of the Coalition on Adult Basic Education (COABE), points out a vital but often overlooked resource: "There is a lack of awareness about the public workforce and education systems in place that are meant to help employers solve these critical challenges, such as adult basic education, integrated education, and training programs." Compounding this issue is the fact that many employers struggle not only with talent acquisition but also with workforce development. Bonney explains, "We hear regularly from our employer partners that they are having trouble not only finding the skilled workers but understanding the best strategies to grow and upskill their own workforce." Our market study dives deeper into these workforce challenges and explores innovative solutions at the intersection of AI and workforce development.
