The AEBG Office has established a field team, the Data and Accountability Committee, that will develop recommendations regarding metric definitions, data tracking, assessment, and accountability reporting for AEBG. The recommendations of the committee will be recorded in a summary paper and in comprehensive documentation for AEBG grantees on data and accountability requirements and will be used to develop the report due to the legislature due Aug. 1 on assessment and accountability. The committee will meet between May and July. The invitations will be sent to the representatives from K-12 adult schools, community college credit programs, and community college noncredit programs who have been selected to join the committee. These members will be joined by representatives from the California Department of Education and Chancellor's Office. The selection process had to move quickly, so we apologize if we didn't get to include everyone, but there will be other opportunities in the future to become involved on future teams (which will include a formal application process). For more information and future updates visit aebg.cccco.edu.

English Language-Learner Workforce Navigator Pilot Grant Awards Announced
On May Day, Labor and Workforce Development Agency Secretary David Lanier issued a statement saying, "Today on International Workers' Day, May Day, the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA)and its partner departments reiterate that we never ask for - nor do we collect - the immigration status of any worker who files a health and safety or wage theft claim with our offices. It has been longstanding state policy that our labor laws apply to all workers, regardless of immigration status, and that the immigration status of a worker is unnecessary information to enforcing our laws."
The LWDA has been working for nearly a year to identify new opportunities for English-Language Learners (ELL) and immigrants in California's workforce system. The agency worked with partners to host webinars on issues impacting the ELL population and have helped to develop and implement policy changes to address some of the structural barriers. This week the agency announced the awardees for the ELL Workforce Navigator Pilot. The agency and the California Workforce Development Board awarded $2.5 million to five local workforce boards to implement the new case management program which brings together job training, adult education and support services for individuals with limited English-language proficiency. The awardees are the Orange County Development Board, Pacific Gateway Workforce Innovation Board, Sacramento Employment and Training Agency, San Diego Workforce Partnership, and Madera County Workforce Investment Corporation. Each will receive $500 million in Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act Title I Governor's Discretionary funds. More than one-third of California's workforce are immigrants. This population faces cultural, language and other barriers to completing job-training programs. The navigator program will provide case management and referrals to support services that will help immigrants and those with language barriers receive the education and skills training needed for income mobility. This is just one more step toward creating more opportunities for English language learners and immigrant workers in California.
