California Adult Literacy Professional Development Project

Admin Forum: It Takes a Village - Working with your WIOA Partners to Support Student Success

Webinar description: 

Adult Schools are charged with helping students reach their goals. What do you do when a student's needs go beyond just literacy or technical skills? What do you do if they need accommodations due to a disability or are struggling with safe and reliable housing. How do you help students find employment after they complete their training program when you don’t have a job developer on staff? Join this webinar to learn how two Adult Schools are partnering with their local AJCC and WIOA partners to expand their network of support and connect students with the resources and opportunities they need to achieve their goals.

Participants will learn:

·         What effective cross-program integration can look like

·         Examples of partnerships that support student success

·         Practical strategies for referrals, communication, and co-enrollment

·         Ideas for strengthening partnerships without creating more bureaucracy
