An additional purpose of this grant is to continue to build the Adult Education (AE) system's capacity to offer this type of programming with the goal of having at least one IET or IELCE program in each of the state's 16 local workforce areas. With these grants, Massachusetts will now have IET and/or IELCE programming in 13 local workforce areas.

Result of Funding: AE Programs will provide services that run concurrently and contextually with workforce preparation activities, civics education activities (IELCE only), and workforce training (occupational skills training) for specific occupations in high-demand industries. The intent is to help eligible students attain economic self-sufficiency.
