Abstract

Integrated Education and Training (IET) has become a useful strategy to help adult education students and others improve their basic and occupational skills while meeting local workforce development requirements and needs. The resource provides templates, guidance, and tools that will help practitioners plan, design, and implement the basic skills component of an IET curriculum. The resource is designed to enable Title II providers and their training partners to adapt existing curriculum and/or develop new basic skills curriculum to help adult education students successfully complete occupational skills training and move forward on a career path. The focus of this guide is on basic skills rather than occupational skills training curriculum.

Benefits and Uses

The resource may provide support for those developing an IET as it provides guidance on the development of contextualized basic skills curriculum. The resource includes examples, instructional approaches, and templates that could be used for IET planning or for professional development.
