Abstract:
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) is dramatically different than previous legislation for adult education. Presenters will address these changes and how they will affect professional development. Participants will share in small groups what they are already doing to address the changes and what they will institute in the future. This will be not only a “what needs to be done” session, but also a “how to do it” session. Participants will be given a new professional development framework and a tool box on how to get started.

Abstract:
The ability of adult learners to set and pursue lifelong learning goals is affected by a variety of policy decisions made at the federal, state, and local levels. This panel session provided information on the ways that such policy decisions can affect access to adult basic education and ESL; adult secondary education and high school equivalency; workforce skills training; postsecondary education; and family and community learning. Presenters were Judy Mortrude (Center for Law and Social Policy); Tracy Noles (National Center for Families Learning); Amanda Bergson-Shilcock (National Skills Coalition); and Michele Diecuch (ProLiteracy).

Abstract:
Approximately one-third of the U.S. workforce works in service-sector industries such as restaurants and hotels, and the number of employees in these industries is on the rise. In this session, presenters will share results from an analysis of the most recent PIAAC data (2012/14), examining and comparing demographic profiles and characteristics of service-sector workers by their literacy skill levels. In addition, participants will learn how to best support service-sector workers in their upskilling efforts and hear examples of such support from a leading policy expert of adult education and upskilling. Lastly, participants will engage in a group discussion about how these research findings can help adult learners.
