Hello NCL colleagues, Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks! I wanted to share our brand-new fact sheet, which focuses on how adult educators can get involved in local WIOA planning. Of course, we all know that there is a wide range of planning timelines, local contexts, and other factors that affect the extent to which adult education partners are being formally engaged in local WIOA planning. The fact sheet is intended to equip both those who are formally part of the process (e.g., because they sit on the local workforce board), as well as adult educators who are participating as members of the public. Please take a look below, and share with your networks as appropriate. Thanks! -Amanda ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: National Skills Coalition <info@nationalskillscoalition.org> Date: Thu, Sep 8, 2016 at 11:40 AM Subject: New Fact Sheet: Adult Educators & Local WIOA Planning To: amandabs@nationalskillscoalition.org [image: National Skills Coalition] <http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=YYOIXHcQL%2Fnsm9mATkQnmLtb978DP%2BFv> ------------------------------ <http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=RenQe4yAy3UeRGChq2B%2BQLtb978DP%2BFv> *Connect with Us* [image: Facebook] <http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=HWSdZsQG6u%2FfoqhL7YNQ%2F7tb978DP%2BFv>[image: Twitter] <http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=bNqU3sfO8vgePisZ81%2F3KLtb978DP%2BFv>[image: YouTube] <http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=UqAyqKkp6wKTSQfUm%2FHy%2Fbtb978DP%2BFv>[image: LinkedIn] <http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ZQ%2FIeeK46g3y8vZjDTmtFbtb978DP%2BFv>[image: Flickr] <http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=rqsE8uqvKO0TTOksmOwzubtb978DP%2BFv> New Fact Sheet: Adult Educators & Local WIOA Planning Dear Amanda, Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), local areas are required to develop four-year plans for addressing local workforce needs. Adult educators can weigh in on important decisions affecting adult learners in their communities through the local WIOA planning process. NSC’s new fact sheet <http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=1lgpMEhWJvNVH1WQvZBM3BSfAxWe5VRo> highlights how adult educators can get involved, and provides resources to help inform comments on local WIOA plans. Take a look, and please share with others who may find this fact sheet of use. ------------------------------ DONATE » <http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=SSXLEESSAixPXXcxzDXPZrtb978DP%2BFv> STAY INFORMED <http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=elAE05nIF%2B4hs3xwGRNE6btb978DP%2BFv> TELL A FRIEND <http://salsa4.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ys7HMlw%2Bzjje3f84cW1qULtb978DP%2BFv> This email was sent to amandabs@nationalskillscoalition.org.
