Integrated Education and Training (IET) and Integrated English Literacy and Civics Education (IEL/CE) Grants are competitive grants designed for partnerships among Adult Basic Education (ABE) providers, Chapter 74 Career /Vocational Technical Education programs, postsecondary education or training providers, and/or employers. The goal is to develop model programs that integrate ABE services concurrently and contextually with workforce preparation and training for occupations in high-demand industries that allow students to attain economic self-sufficiency.
The term “adult basic education” is used to refer to instructional services below the postsecondary level for adults in basic reading, writing and numeracy, pre-adult secondary (Pre-ASE), and adult secondary (ASE) education, and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL).
