 The AEBG Practices with Promise site is a tool developed to share promising practices in adult education across the State. This tool allows regional consortia to share promising practices currently in use that have been proven to work. These practices include current initiatives, pilot programs, or strategies employed in your region for any or all of the 5 program areas as well as practices that have helped your planning process be a success. Educators and workforce development providers face the challenge of preparing adult learners for the emerging global economy, where it is projected that by the year 2020, up to 50% of our workforce will be contingent or freelance. This requires a set of skills such as adaptability, digital literacy, and communication, which all students must have to ensure their employability. The Feather River Consortium partnered with CTE/EWD grants at Feather River College to develop a series of classroom-based lessons and videos focused on building 21st Century Soft Skills. The curriculum is designed to be used in tandem with workplace learning experiences, so students can first review the skill and then implement it in real work settings. Learn how Feather River Consortium is expanding this opportunity to other community colleges by clicking the link below.
