Abstract:
Building on the first webinar, “Opportunities in SNAP E&T Part 1 – Introduction & The National Landscape,” panelists from the Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development, Greater Memphis Local Workforce Development Board, Tennessee Department of Human Services, and University of Tennessee Extension’s SNAP Employment and Training Program will discuss the mechanics of strong coordination across programs and funding streams and share provider perspectives on serving individuals whose entry-points span across multiple systems. The panel will also examine the nexus between SNAP E&T and the broader elements of the workforce system including braiding and blending funding, managing administrative processes, and aligning information systems. The aim of this webinar is to encourage the use of SNAP E&T as a resource to enhance and expand existing workforce development programs and develop strategies to cohesively support participants as they move through multiple systems.

The first webinar in a two-part series will use a national perspective to introduce SNAP E&T as part of a broader workforce development ecosystem. Attendees will hear from representatives from the American Public Human Services Association, National Association of Workforce Boards, and other stakeholders to learn a basic overview of SNAP E&T and how it can be used to advance career pathways and supportive services that bolster economic mobility. Panelists will discuss how providers can integrate SNAP E&T as part of an overall workforce development strategy supported by multiple federal programs and funding streams such as WIOA programs, TANF, and others to create services that support individuals through cohesive pathways to career growth.

Abstract:
Current research tells us that when the learning environments are adjusted to students' specific backgrounds, the learning outcomes are increased. At times, adult education may have used a one-size-fits-all approach, but has that been working? This webinar explores opportunities to increase racial justice awareness. Join this open space for brainstorming, collaborating, and inspiration to adapt learning environments to enhance adult student achievement, with an emphasis on learners from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds.

Abstract:
This webinar will focus on the importance of cultural competence and inclusion in adult education. The webinar will define and discuss cultural competency and the various points included in the Cultural Competency Continuum. The webinar will provide actionable steps teachers, administrators, and support staff can take to support a culturally competent and inclusive learning environment for students. During the webinar, participants will be introduced to the six points on the cultural competence continuum: cultural destructiveness, cultural incapacity, cultural blindness, cultural pre-competence, cultural competence, and cultural proficiency. Additionally, participants will be introduced to concepts that impact cultural competence, such as implicit bias, microaggressions, and inclusion during the webinar. Participants will leave the webinar with tools and actionable steps to improve equity on both an individual and programmatic level.
