Learning Lab
Welcome to the Warren Conner/Dominican Literacy
As the result of a partnership among the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth (DELEG), Warren/Conner Development Coalition and Dominican Literacy Center, the Detroit Eastside Learning Lab was born. The Learning Lab is one of ten Labs around the City of Detroit sponsored by the State of Michigan.
The Learning Lab is housed at 11148 Harper in the Warren/Conner Development Coalition complex.
The goal of the Eastside Learning Lab is to provide individual, computer-assisted instruction to under-educated, unemployed, and under-employed adults who wish to improve their reading, writing, math, keyboarding, and overall work skills, so they may become successfully employed in good paying jobs.
