Jobs for the Future
With the urgency of adult digital skill development as a backdrop, the Digital Resilience in the American Workforce (DRAW) initiative, funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE), conducted a national landscape scan to identify existing resources and effective approaches for digital skills development, skill definitions and frameworks, assessment, and practitioner professional development. This report's findings will inform the design of forthcoming professional development for adult educators by answering this primary research question: "What training resources and approaches are most relevant for educators seeking to increase digital literacy and digital resilience for an adult learner population?" [An additional partner of the report is Safal Partners.]
