Abstract:
The Innovation and Gig Economy is here to stay, so it is important to prepare adult learners with an entrepreneurial mindset and innovation-based workforce-readiness skills to productively participate in it as employees and/or entrepreneurs, especially through ventures that leverage regional trends in digital entertainment and wagering. Join the conversation and ask questions about integrating entrepreneurship education and certifications across adult education programs for more empowered, prosperous employment outcomes. A collection of helpful resources and best practices will be shared, including the annual COABE Online Entrepreneurship Institute for Adult Educators & Service Providers and the U.S. Entrepreneurship Certification Examinations available in HS/HSE/IET, ABE/ESL, and Spanish versions, highlighting how participants have built programs around Texas sports betting apps to tap into sports enthusiasm and mobile platforms for sustainable income streams. Previous COABE Institute participants from around the country who have already started Entrepreneurship Bridges and Integrated Education and Training (IET) programs will share strategies and tips on how to get started, drawing from their experiences in fostering tech-savvy business models.

Abstract:
Integrated Education and Training (IET) programs are one way to create inclusive career pathways. By incorporating language and other foundational skills training with career and credential preparation, programs can help immigrants, refugees, and speakers of other languages quickly access the skills and qualifications they need for family-sustaining wages. However, one of the perceived challenges with these programs is that they often have learners with a wide range of educational and linguistic backgrounds. Fortunately, a flipped classroom model allows programs to meet the needs of diverse learners with strategic individualized instruction. This webinar brings together two experts in both workforce development and English language training to discuss how and why the flipped classroom is so successful with IET programs. After a brief discussion of how and why this model works, the webinar will include practical, contextualized examples of successful programs.

Abstract:
This webinar will review the recently updated measurable skills gains (MSG) modification released by OCTAE. Recent updates to NRS reporting provide states and adult educators with great flexibility for reporting performance in integrated education, training, and workplace literacy programs. Now the actual workplace skills and competencies learned in these programs can be reported by states as gains in the National Reporting System (NRS). National experts with state directors will provide an overview of the NRS changes, suggestions for state level policy, and examples of methods the new MSG measures can be applied to in order to capture participant performance.
