Strengthening Adult Career Pathways in Minnesota: A Professional Development Cohort for Managers
Egan, Patsy; Andress, Elizabeth
COABE Journal: The Resource for Adult Education, v7 n1 p20-27 2018
Establishing adult career pathways is challenging, complex work. In Minnesota, a new professional development initiative provides ABE managers with a facilitated, supported, year-long cohort as they work to create or strengthen a career pathway program in collaboration with WIOA partners in their localities. In this article, the rationale, design, and outcomes of this professional development activity are outlined. Key features include an experiential learning approach, a mix of face-to-face and online interaction and presentation, peer partners, coaching calls, goal-setting, and local action steps.
