What is remedial training?
Remedial education is defined as training in the elementary skills that every worker must have in order to achieve basic employability. Remedial education training should be considered pre-vocational; that is, it leads to occupational, on-the-job, or customized training that will equip the participant with specific job skills. Wherever practical, remedial education training should be conducted concurrently with the early parts of occupational training. Examples of remedial education are basic writing and mathematical skills training, English for Speakers of other Languages (ESoL), and courses leading to a G.E.D.
