Abstract:
In the first two years of President Trump’s term, many new, restrictionist immigration policies were put into motion, including dramatic cuts in refugee resettlement and significant expansions in both the categories of immigrants targeted for deportation and types of public programs whose use could trigger immigration penalties. In the wake of these actions, Congress has been considering a range of bills related to DACA/DREAM youth and various broader immigration reform measures. In this session, national immigration and immigrant integration experts will discuss the impacts of these and other immigration measures on the adult education field. Presentations will explore how these policies affect adult education programs, the differing reactions of states in several key policy areas, as well as ways in which adult education programs can continue providing support for immigrants’ educational and integration success despite the turbulent policy landscape.

Abstract:
Despite a legal mandate to prioritize serving English Learners (ELs) in adult workforce development programs, very few can currently access training services. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires programs to grant priority of service to individuals who are considered “basic skills deficient,” and WIOA’s nondiscrimination and equal protection provisions forbid discrimination against ELs. Despite these requirements, as well as years of best practice research on implementing similar priority of service guidelines, few states and local workforce boards have taken steps to open up training services to ELs and those without a high school diploma or equivalent who meet the priority of service. Join us for a discussion of the priority of service mandate and the steps that are needed to ensure fair access to workforce training services for ELs and other target populations.
