California Adult Literacy Professional Development Project

We Train California Administrator Toolkit

The We Train California Administrator Toolkit is a practical resource for adult education administrators, community colleges, and community-based organizations implementing Integrated Education and Training (IET) programs under WIOA Title II. Organized into eight operational sections, the toolkit addresses the essential components of IET implementation, including the concurrent delivery of adult education and literacy activities, workforce preparation activities, and occupational training aligned with in-demand industry sectors and recognized postsecondary credentials. It provides guidance on establishing effective instructional models, including co-teaching and alternating teaching approaches; aligning basic skills instruction with occupational content and competencies; conducting labor market analysis; developing and formalizing workforce and training partnerships; coordinating instructional staff; designing integrated curricula; and meeting programmatic and data reporting requirements. The toolkit serves as an implementation resource to help administrators develop, manage, and continuously improve IET programs that integrate academic instruction with occupational skills training and prepare adult learners for employment and advancement along career pathways.
