Integrating Academics & Workforce into Train & Earn Programs – Program Manager Edition

The Literacy Assistance Center (LAC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening and expanding the adult education system, and to advancing adult literacy as a core value in our society and a foundation for equal opportunity and social justice. Since 1983, the LAC has been working to build the capacity and improve the quality of the basic education, high school equivalency, and English language programs that serve New York’s most educationally disadvantaged and economically marginalized adults and out-of-school youth.

Employability skills are vital to the success of our youth, but they are often taught in the vacuum of workforce development. Likewise, academics tend to be relegated to their own section of some programs. Providers should be using academic development to grow the youths’ employability skills and vice versa. This approach needs to be seamlessly integrated and contextualized. Research indicates that blending academic content with workforce development is a successful method for providing youth with 21st century skills. In this training we will analyze products of this integration, discuss the importance of building basic skills in the context of workforce readiness and learn to identify the integration of literacy, numeracy and employability skills.
