VISION STATEMENT
      ADULT EDUCATION STRATEGIC PLAN
             VISION STATEMENT
                 2018-2023

  In partnership with other stakeholders, we will
   create learning opportunities that align with
 statewide education, training, and employment
strategies to ensure all adult learners have access
to and success across services that are cohesive,
  coordinated, and innovative to promote better
    economic opportunities, greater equity, and
           sustainable career pathways.
30
      GOAL 1: IMPROVE OUTCOMES BY SCALING
     EFFECTIVE MODELS AND STRATEGIES ACROSS
                   THE SYSTEM
       Explore the use of other Integrated Education and Training
        Models that facilitate implementation and contextualization at
        the regional and Local level.
       Ensure Adult Education remains responsive to emerging labor
        market needs and aligns with economic development regional
        data, demographic data, and long-range comprehensive
        community plans through all stages of the scaling process.
       Influence and support policies and practices that strengthen
        Adult Education’s voice when actively connecting employment
        and training to the career pathways system and building
        responsiveness to businesses’ needs.
       Develop on-ramps for all students, including basic skills students
        and English language learners, into the Adult Education
        comprehensive career pathways systems.
GOAL 2: INCREASE POSTSECONDARY
   TRANSITIONS AND CREDENTIAL
           ATTAINMENT
 Actively engage with employers through the development
  of work-based learning opportunities, apprenticeships, and
  other learn and earn models for Adult Education students;
  advisory committees; and curriculum enhancements such
  as mock interviews, experiential learning, employer-based
  on-site projects, and other mentoring opportunities.
 Leverage and maximize access to support services and
  financial incentives to ensure seamless transitions for
  Adult Education students.
 Provide comprehensive professional development and
  training to Adult Education providers and other
  stakeholders on identifying labor market demands and
  how to demonstrate return on investment for their
  transition-related programs and the benefit to students,
  employers, and the regional economy.
GOAL 3: STRENGTHEN COLLEGE AND
             CAREER READINESS
 Embed the Essential Employability Skills Framework across the Adult
  Education curriculum and incorporate on-ramps to Adult Education
  and IET/ICAPS with “fast track” models or accelerated learning
  strategies—and design and integrate work-based learning components
  that enhance classroom-based academic work.

 Align Adult Education with the other key state-driven plans, such as the
  Illinois Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Unified Plan; the
  Illinois Community College Board’s Workforce Education Strategic
  Plan; the Report of the Higher Education Commission on the Future of
  the Workforce, and the Illinois Postsecondary Workforce and Readiness
  Act, where appropriate via system alignment and partnership
  development efforts.

•   Strengthen alignment and service integration across local WIOA core
    and required partner agencies to support career pathways program
    development, including provision of student support services (including
    legislative issues and social issues).
GOAL 4: DEVELOP LIFE-LONG CAREER PATHWAY
    SYSTEMS & ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES
   Expand the quantity and enhance the quality of existing partnerships,
    and leverage those partnerships to extend services and resources that
    have proven effective in bridge programs or IETs to other levels of
    Adult Education (for example, case managers/career navigators)
   Integrate the Illinois Essential Employability Skills Framework, agile
    learning skills, and technology skills into all levels of instruction to
    help students become labor market adaptable.
   Develop a comprehensive technology framework for Adult Education
    program design and instruction that meets the needs of students with
    varied levels of digital literacy and foundational skills. This framework
    should address the use of technology in providing greater student
    access, instruction strategies and methods for using technology, and
    program design models that ensure flexibility to meet the changing
    technological landscape of the workforce.
   Use technology to create “just in time” learning opportunities that
    equip students with strategies to address lifelong learning needs and
    build workplace skills.
