Abstract:
As workforce needs shift and career pathways evolve, integrated education and training (IET) and apprenticeship models offer powerful tools for helping adult learners access high-demand jobs. But how do programs move from planning to full-scale implementation and ensure these pathways are equitable and accessible for English learners? In this webinar, we will explore how adult education programs are building and expanding IET and apprenticeship pipelines through cross-sector collaboration, employer partnerships, and digital tools that support language and literacy instruction. Speakers will share real-world examples, highlight common roadblocks, and offer actionable strategies to increase access, improve learner outcomes, and meet workforce demand. The needs of special populations, including internationally trained professionals will be explored. Whether you’re designing a new IET program or looking to take an existing model to the next level, this webinar will provide practical insights and replicable strategies for building programs that work for both learners and employers.

Abstract:
Adult learners often gain valuable skills through a wide range of experiences: at school, on the job, in self-paced online learning, through caregiving or volunteer work, in the military, and more. But traditional job application tools like resumes don't always reflect the full scope of what someone knows and can do. This webinar explores how digital tools like credentials and digital wallets can help learners track and present their skills more clearly and confidently as they navigate education and career pathways.

The slow reveal graphs instructional strategy takes the focus off getting the “right” answer and allows students from a variety of backgrounds to work together to share their curiosity and interpret graphs.

Abstract:
Comprehensive community development is defined as the "place-based and intentional approach aimed at improving lives and strengthening communities and works at the intersection of people, places, and systems." By creating a shared vision, unified strategy, and a collaborative structure to attract and deploy resources, comprehensive community development creates vibrant local communities that offer people equitable opportunities to thrive. It is also built on a foundation of inclusive resident engagement, which is central to creating and sustaining positive change.
NeighborWorks America (NWA) is the founder of this strategic thinking and today, this 45-year-old national nonprofit exists to make grants that impact local communities in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. NWA also supports organizations and individuals engaged in this work through many types of capacity-building and training opportunities. NeighborWorks is known as the premier provider of professional learning for the affordable housing and community development field. Participants will hear from two NWA network organizations about best practices and the benefits of NeighborWorks training and how professional development can impact individuals and communities!
