The program background/scope of work and requirements are briefly described below. Subcontracting of services will not be permitted.
BACKGROUND/SCOPE OF WORK ONA was created in 2012 to welcome immigrants and to help them in achieving their American dream.

The program should be available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and offer voice and text services that can be accessed from home or on the go. Users should be able to tailor their learning to meet their own schedule and pace; lessons should be structured to allow learners to stop a lesson at any time and pick up where they left off the next time they access the platform. The program should have a live coach available to assist any student who might be struggling with a particular lesson or who is making the same mistakes repeatedly. In addition, the program should be able to generate progress reports for the ONA network and other partner organizations at any time, so that they can ensure their students are progressing. The platform should offer a diversified selection of courses from which a learner can choose including basic English courses, workforce English, and citizenship preparation courses.
