The development of career pathways is one way to assist students to obtain or improve their employment options and to successfully enroll and complete postsecondary education. Bridge and Integrated Education and Training (IET) Programs are models of instructional delivery designed for many low-skilled adults to achieve the level of education needed to ensure success. Through a diverse provider network, the ICCB will continue to work collaboratively toward fulfilling the requirements of WIOA, and the goals of the Adult Education Strategic Plan while building on past successes, experiences, and best practices.
