Many adult education providers are developing career pathways (CP) programs, which are viewed as an important workforce development and poverty alleviation strategy in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, by state and local governments, and by private funders. Based on a three-year researcher-practitioner partnership, this paper uses survey data from 106 adult education agencies to describe salient features of CP programming in Chicago, Houston, and Miami and then uses focus group data and case studies of six agencies to analyze wraparound support services in greater detail. Ninety-four percent of survey respondents were providing or developing CP programs, but design and implementation varied widely. The findings underscore the importance of providing comprehensive support services to help adult learners address the cognitive and material burden of poverty.
