Happy Labor Day from COABE! We believe in the power of #AdultEducation to get Americans into family-sustaining jobs. We are excited to see a more coordinated effort in our nation toward creating pipelines from adult education programs directly into #industry, which helps address large talent gaps. This Labor Day, we celebrate the jobs filled by those adult learners who have #upskilled or #reskilled into careers that allow them financial self-sufficiency and have affected an immense impact on their communities and the nationwide economy as a whole. #LaborDay #Celebrate #Jobs #Workforce #Economy #Pipeline #AdultEd Sharon Bonney

It’s #FabFriday! This week we highlight Caixia Jiang from #California. Adult education gave Caixia the support she needed to navigate the challenges of learning a new language and creating a career path for herself. After giving birth to her daughter, Caixia felt overwhelmed trying to find a job because her English skills were low, so she enrolled in her local adult education program and became inspired. Read her full story to see how adult education was able to open doors for her to begin a career path she loved! https://lnkd.in/ev-FeCW8 #AdultLearnerSuccess #EducateAndElevate #COABE #AdultEducation #AdultEducationMatters #FundEducation #ReturnOnInvestment #AdultLearners #YourStory California Department of Education California Council for Adult Education Sharon Bonney Erin Vobornik Kristin Waugh Hempel Sara Haghighi

#COABEIsOnTheMove as our CEO, Sharon Bonney, met in Pittsburgh yesterday with Douglas M. Sessions of NeighborWorks America. We look forward to the potential that can be met when we collaborate with like-minded organizations! Here is to the future! #Collaboration #Partnership #FutureFocused #Workforce
It was such a pleasure to meet Douglas M. Sessions in person at the NeighborWorks America conference! There are so many potential opportunities for collaboration in support of our adult learners, teachers, and local programs! Thank you Jeffrey Abramowitz for making time to join us for this incredibly thoughtful and future focused discussion! The plenary session for the National Training Institute fostered new ideas and innovations, and it was great to make new connections and see a few familiar faces!

Adult education is an economic catalyst! For every 400,000 adults who earn a high school diploma, the economy gains $2.5 billion back in tax revenue and reduced expenses. That’s $6,250 per person! The estimated value to our economy in reduced costs for public support programs for low skilled, low literate adults is $200 billion annually. Sign the pledge today to support America's economy through education! https://lnkd.in/e87czeEa Already signed?
