Meet the adult learners where they are in their lives, but also be the advocate to help them improve their lives, and instill the confidence needed for them to be their own advocate as well. Developing advocacy skills can empower them to go beyond their own simple goals, proving to themselves and others they CAN do anything that they set their mind to!

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.

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.
