Abstract:
WIOA key themes include career pathways, sector partnerships, and stronger connections between adult education and workforce. Our panel discusses these key themes through an initiative that is focused on individuals with low-literacy to engage in training and employment opportunities in high demand sectors of healthcare, manufacturing, construction, hospitality, and IT. There are 200,000 adults in Cleveland, Ohio, that have reading and math levels below 8th grade. They are excluded from enrolling in occupational training due to their low literacy levels. Many become disengaged because they are embarrassed or discouraged by attending traditional adult education classes. This issue led a group of adult education, workforce development, employers, and occupational training professionals to look for solutions to give more adults access to high demand employment and training opportunities. Contextualized curriculum was developed based on demand sector training programs and employment opportunities. The training programs were designed based on employers’ needs and hiring requirements. The panel will discuss the process, development, implementation, and piloting of the integrated education and training model.

Abstract:
Integrated Education & Training (IET) is a promising practice based in adult learning theory. Through IET programs, adults seek goal-oriented, relevant, practical knowledge. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA) codified an IET definition, and the July 2016 final regulations provide both assurance and incentives for adult educators to design and implement IET which, when paired with a sector focus and support services (+S), rounds out a powerful career pathway model: IET+S. Review the IET definition and guidance and explore a few of the many adult education programs that have discovered the power of IET and, through a variety of partnerships, have implemented the IET strategy to serve people across the educational functioning level spectrum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3oiFPAXTC8
