Description: |
Join this professional development opportunity to explore career pathways in your consortium. This TWO session workshop will focus on using data to make decisions for identifying opportunities and gaps in educational offerings and local labor market needs. We will introduce and explore the Regional Adult Education to Workforce Dashboard, which provides information on local educational programs and training (by metacluster) by institution as well as local labor market information, (annual openings, COE Skill category, Self-Sufficiency wages). We will also explore other data tools to help identify feasible and sustainable pathways for adult learners. Activities and discussions will focus on how to identify collaborative student centered opportunities that create a coherent pathway through K-12 Adult Schools and Noncredit community college programs to employment or additional training. The limited numbers will allow for 1) breakout groups, idea sharing, discussions, and networking opportunities with your peers; and 2) the opportunity to explore and ask questions about your data. This professional development opportunity will use a problem of practice approach which will be contextualized to participants needs and contexts. Between sessions participants will complete a self-identified Action Step that will inform Session 2. Sign up as an individual or as a group. Enrollment is limited to 30. Participants must attend both sessions. |
