Abstract:
New Mexico ranks among the worst in the nation in educational attainment, poverty, violence, substance abuse, and suicide. With the advent of the WIOA legislation, a group of New Mexico adult education (AE) practitioners rallied to the call of building career pathways out of poverty and launched a radically innovative professional development initiative for elevating New Mexico to stand among our nation's top performers. Our C3 Initiative develops AE programs from "the inside out" to build Collaborations, Competency-Based Education, and Career Pathways programming. Design components include a three-year program commitment, a decision maker with two teachers from each program working for integrated change, program accountability with deliverables and increased responsibility, and the creation of a statewide professional learning community with a 33-week research-to-practice online curriculum. Our session shares knowledge and tools for supporting adult educators to unmask our brilliance and become leaders in the national career pathways movement. A pdf of the presentation has been uploaded for sharing.

Abstract:
“The career pathways approach connects progressive levels of basic skills and postsecondary education, training, and supportive services in specific sectors or cross-sector occupations in a way that optimizes the progress and success of individuals—including those with limited education, English, skills, and/or work experience—in securing marketable credentials, family-supporting employment, and further education and employment opportunities.”

Abstract:
Ashland University offers the longest continuously operating post-secondary correctional education program in the United States. Established in 1964 at the Ohio State Reformatory, the AU offerings now serve over 1,000 incarcerated students annually with college curriculum. The programs are offered to both male and female adult offenders in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC), and male and female juvenile offenders in the Ohio Department of Youth Services (ODYS). A recent emphasis has been placed on the development and delivery of “online” courses for the correctional programs which do not require live internet access – something prohibited in the correctional environment.

Abstract:
The Iowa Department of Education presented at the 2019 COABE Conference on their collaboration with Iowa’s 15 community colleges to build, connect, and empower employer-led, community-based sector partnerships to combat a shortage of skilled labor through a wide variety of talent attraction, retention, and development initiatives. The discussion centered on newly developed statewide materials, strategies, and initiatives which continue to support the development and growth of collaborative sector partnerships in Iowa, including a series of educational toolkits, community of practice initiatives, and statewide career pathway development strategies for critical industries like health science, advanced manufacturing, IT, and energy. Many of these resources, strategies, and general ideas can be easily and quickly replicated in other communities across the US.
