March 21, 2018

How can adult educators integrate employability skills into instruction to support workforce preparation for middle skills jobs? Employability skills—also referred to as 21st century workplace skills, soft-skills, or non-cognitive skills—are needed by our adult education students for readiness and success regardless of the industry or job position. This webinar provides a brief overview of the middle skills jobs landscape, both nationally and in California, and an employability skills framework. The presenter highlights strategies and hands-on resources to connect the needed employability skills for these jobs within adult education settings.
