Abstract:
This interactive workshop explores how adult basic education providers can strengthen outcomes by building innovative, results-driven partnerships with their workforce development boards. Through real-world examples and guided discussion, the session highlights how co-enrollment, integrated education and training (IET), pre-apprenticeships, shared data, and braided funding can help workforce development and ABE partners respond to talent shortages while expanding access and equity for job seekers. Attendees will identify common challenges to effective partnerships and learn concrete strategies for overcoming them through trust-building, joint planning, and continuous communication. The workshop emphasizes by positioning ABE programs and workforce development boards not only as referral agencies, but as strategic partners in talent development. Participants will leave with actionable ideas, partnership tools, and next steps they can adapt to their local systems to better serve job seekers, employers, and communities in a rapidly changing economy. Participants will (1) identify effective partnership models between workforce development and adult basic education, including co-enrollment, pre-apprenticeships, and Integrated Education and Training; (2) apply strategies to align goals, data, and resources across systems to address common partnership challenges; and (3) develop actionable next steps to strengthen local collaborations that improve outcomes for jobseekers and employers.

Nucleos presents, "One Person. One Plan. Many Partners." Every individual on a second-chance journey has a different story, different challenges, and different goals. A one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work. In this webinar, we’ll explore how personalized learning and support pathways can help individuals identify their strengths, address their needs, and build a meaningful path forward. Through the Nucleos platform, education, career development, mental health resources, reentry support, and essential soft skills can come together to form a coordinated strategy for success. When these services are connected through trusted partners, organizations can move beyond separate programs and create a support system tailored to each person. Because real progress happens when we focus on one person, create one plan, and bring together many partners.
