We are continuing to work on ACES (Academic, Career, and Employability Skills), one of our key statewide professional development initiatives through ATLAS
The goal of ACES is to ensure that ABE programs are providing effective contextualized instruction integrating post-secondary education and training readiness, employability skills and career readiness at all levels.
This year we’ll be working on further development of the ACES Transitions Integration Framework and associated professional development activities, with a statewide rollout at next year’s Summer Institute
