February 16, 2021
The Advancing Innovation in Adult Education project announced the second round of innovative practices in adult education for bridge and integrated education and training (IET) programs. The five adult education practices highlighted employ innovative approaches and partnerships that support adults’ development of the knowledge, skills, and abilities they need to enroll and be successful in postsecondary education or occupational training, earn short-term credentials, and obtain employment.
The programs, which are part of local school districts, have developed strong partnerships with a range of stakeholders, including community and technical colleges, universities, workforce development providers, and employers.
