Executive Summary

The Imperial County Adult Education Consortium serves adults in Imperial County which serves a large geographic area and is bordered by Riverside County to the north,  Arizona to the east and San Diego county to the west. The international border with Mexico is south where one of the school districts is a stone's throw fro the capital of Baja California, Mexicali, MX, with a population of over 1 million residents.  The Consortium consists of nine members; Brawley Union High School District, Calexico Unified School District, Calipatria Unified School District, Central Union High School District, Holtville Unified School District, Imperial County Office of Education, Imperial Unified School District, Imperial Community College District and San Pasqual Valley Unified School district, which is located on the California-Arizona state line. The established goal of the consortium from its' inception is "Enroll, Educate and Employ" adults in the community.

The Consortium continues to be committed to supporting adults in the community to access needed services and supports to advance their educational and career goals. The Three-Year Planning process provided Members the opportunity to reflect on the adult education programs in the county, identify needed areas of growth, address current challenges, as well as celebrate successes. Members maintain the same level of commitment to providing high quality programs and continue to work collaboratively to provide consistency in programs across the county. The Consortium chose to focus on providing educational opportunities in five program areas in 2019-2022: High School Diploma/High School Equivalency, English as a Second Language, Education for Adults with Disabilities, Career Technical Education, and programs for adults to assist elementary and secondary school children. Members continue to meet consistently during monthly Board Meetings to collaborate and vote on pertinent items including funding and to establish procedures and agreements. Student Success Specialists from Imperial Valley College worked with member districts to provide workshops and support for transition to postsecondary and workforce as well as supportive services for needs such as food insecurity, transportation, housing and citizenship.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionally impacted the already stressed community in the area of education and workforce. The shift from in-person instruction to remote or distance learning for K-12 schools and the local community college left many adult education students without the ability to participate in programs due to lack of child care and lack of access to technology and/or the skills to participate in on-line learning. The Consortium continued to meet monthly via Zoom and teachers and other staff worked tirelessly to continue to offer continuity of services to students. Additionally, the Consortium was also able to benefit from a program to provide adult education students access to devices and internet access in rural areas of the county. Upon return to in-person instruction, Members have strived to re-engage the community and restore enrollment. While challenging, the Members remain committed to offering programs and have continued to increase offerings in short-term CTE as well as being innovative in exploring opportunities to offer programs in remote areas of the county.  

Through the challenges of these past few years, the ICAEC Members have shown great commitment and resiliency in their approach to continue to support the adults in the community. There is a renewed commitment and desire to bring programs up to pre-pandemic levels and continue to grow programs and partnerships with IVC, K-12 districts, and Workforce Development. In this next three year plan, the Consortium will refine the use of data and focus on addressing gaps in services, seamless transition and integration of services to increase enrollment, retention and transition to postsecondary and employment. The Consortium will continue to use a coordinated calendar for enrollment and professional development as well as fostering relationships with business and industry. 

The ICAEC will continue to meet regularly to ensure collaboration and ongoing monitoring and expansion services in educational and workforce programs and supports as needed. The goal is to see an increase in enrollment, retention, completion and transition to postsecondary and workforce by focusing on data, relationship building, leveraging of resources and partnerships. The Consortium Members are committed to continuing to offer high quality programs for adults in the community that provide the foundation to achieve their educational and career goals. 

Assessment

In preparation for the development of the Three-Year Plan, the  Imperial County Adult Education Consortium (ICAEC) participated in several activities to assess the current status of programs in the county:

CAEP Three-Year Planning Tool was used by all members to evaluate their school and the consortium as a whole

The American Communities Survey was used to assess demographic data, transition and labor market data in the county

US Census data for Imperial County was reviewed to provide an overall picture of the county’s population and need in employment, education and income and poverty

CAEP Consortium Fact Sheet was used as an additional resource

The CAEP Three-Year Plan was a regular agenda item at monthly meetings of the Imperial County Adult Education Consortium where Member Representatives engaged in discussion.

The Imperial County Adult Education Consortium collaborates on alignment of adult education, program implementation and workforce services in the region by collaborating with the Imperial County Workforce Development Board, Imperial Valley College and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Additionally, the Lead sits on the K14 Career Pathways Workgroup for the San Diego-Imperial Region.

The CAEP Three-Year Planning Tool was used by all members to evaluate their school and the consortium as a whole. Members took time to evaluate the levels of implementation.  Using the Planning Tool as a guide, members participated in facilitated discussions during planning meetings to identify areas of strength and areas of growth.

US Census data and other demographic data for Imperial County were reviewed to provide an overall picture of the county's population and need in employment, education and income and poverty. Some areas of note were:

  • 179,851 residents in Imperial County
  • 85% Hispanic/Latino
  • 30.1% Foreign born persons
  • 18% Poverty rate
  • 18% Unemployment
  • 24.5% of residents have a high school diploma
  • 15.4% Bachelors Degree or higher
  • 49% of residents speak English "less than well"
  • 68.6% speak Spanish at home as their primary language

The American Communities Survey, Launch Board and Imperial County CAEP Consortium Fact Sheet was used to verify demographic data, transition and labor market data in the county.  The data reviewed showed that there is great need in Imperial County for ESL, HSE/HSD and GED in Imperial County. Additionally, there is room for growth in the area of transition to post-secondary options. Using individual school metrics, it is evident that enrollment is still low when compared to pre-pandemic data. 

Labor Market information shows that the largest industries for Imperial County are Government, Health Care and Social Assistance, Agriculture, Fishing, and Hunting, Retail and Trade, and Accommodation and Food Service. The fastest growing occupations are Social and Community Service Managers, Crematory Operators and Personal Care and Service Workers, Bus Drivers, Excavating and Loading Machine and Dragline Operators, and Home Health and Personal Care Aides.  Members discussed the desire to provide opportunities for certificate programs for students in some of these areas and also discussed the challenges to staff and host such programs on their campuses. 

The CAEP Three-Year Plan was a regular agenda item at monthly meetings of the Imperial County Adult Education Consortium where Member Representatives engaged in discussion and shared qualitative data and information in addition to other reports. The discussion of emerging industries in Imperial County were discussed as a possible opportunity for employment for adult education students and opportunities for new certificate programs. Additionally, Members identified the opportunity to build stronger connections to K-12 schools and community to engage and inform parents/guardians of the opportunities for HSD/HSE and ESL courses to increase engagement and enrollment. A population of foreign born residents with Bachelor's degrees or higher from their home country were also identified as a population the Consortium serves and the need for services for this population to translate transcripts and support them as they participate in adult education programs. Members committed to continue to collaborate on WIOA applications and support for schools interested in WACS (re)accreditation.

In reviewing enrollment, retention and completion data, it appears that students may benefit from more support throughout their journey in Adult Education programs.  While schools have their processes, members identified the need to have something more formal and uniform across all schools in the Consortium. 

A key area of need identified were the establishment of procedures for Orientation, Intake, Education and Career Planning and Workforce and Postsecondary Education Transition process for students to support students from enrollment to graduation and transition to postsecondary education and employment.  Members also identified the need to expose adult education students to the possibilities available to them at the local community colleges for certificate and degree programs, financial aid and other supportive services. Imperial Valley College representatives were eager to support engaging students on campus and in other forms to help students know what is available at the college and see themselves there.  



In preparation for the Three-Year Plan, 

  1. Beginning in January 2022, all regular CAEP Board Meetings included agenda items to discuss plans and review data for the upcoming 2022-2025 Three-Year Plan
  2. All 8 Imperial County Member Districts, Imperial Valley College and consortium partners participated in discussions and provided input for upcoming plans and goals.
  3. Discussion topics included dual enrollment, transitions to employment and higher education, collaboration for workforce skill development/alignment and ways to re-engage students after COVID.

Objectives

Address Educational Needs

To address the education and workforce needs of the Imperia County Adult Education Consortium, Member Districts will participate in activities to address identified areas of need and ongoing support for students, staff and community. Consortium Members are committed to providing high quality programs for students and strive to improve and expand services when possible.  

To target areas of need, Consortium Members will continue to collaborate and strengthen partnerships with existing partners to leverage resources to support student’s workforce and educational needs. Members will also foster relationships with K-12 schools and in their communities to increase visibility and inform them of the opportunities available for adults at Adult Education schools.  Fostering relationships with K-12 partners will provide a more informed community who can speak to the benefits of Adult Education and provide other avenues for students to participate in programs to the betterment of their families and communities. Since enrollment and retention have not bounced back since the COVID-19 pandemic, these collaborative efforts will be key to re-engaging adult education students. Members will monitor enrollment and retention data quarterly to measure effectiveness of strategies and modify efforts as needed.

Additionally, Members commit to working together to establish a uniform procedure for intake and intentional ongoing support for students to support their pathway from enrollment to graduation and transition to postsecondary education and/or employment.  This process will require Members and Partners to work together to establish procedures and supportive services for academic, career and employability skill needs, and personal/social needs. 

Members will continue to offer courses in ESL, HSD/HSE as well as Career Education courses. Where there is opportunity for expansion for course offerings into remote areas of the county, schools will work to extend services for more accessibility in those areas. 


Improve Integration of Services & Transitions

To improve integration and services and transition,  the Imperial County Adult Education Consortium is committed to intentionally support transitions and student acceleration by implementing strategies and activities that will ensure students progress and complete their pathway through postsecondary education and/or employment.

The Consortium has identified strategies and practices to integrate into systems to ensure students are supported from enrollment to graduation and beyond. To support students, the consortium will implement the following activities for students to ensure integration and seamless transitions. 

Intake and Orientation for new/returning students to ensure they are aware of the programs available and that they are enrolling in the appropriate program for their end goal.

Ongoing monitoring and support from adult education support staff to maintain connection to students and provide academic, social, emotional and other support to help them stay on their path toward their goal. 

Engage in Education and Career Planning for all students to establish a plan for their pathway, including opportunities for career and postsecondary exploration. Implement a key area of contact when students are close to completing their program to plan for the next step. 

Provide ongoing opportunities for students and staff to visit local colleges and connect with college staff to establish relationships and understanding of programs offered (certificate/degree, EOPS, FAFSA, Counseling) for seamless transitions and other support. 

Establish ongoing data monitoring practices to track progress, acceleration, completion of programs, and transition to postsecondary and/or workforce to measure impact of activities and modify as needed.  Discuss at regularly scheduled board meetings quarterly to identify best practices and areas for improvement.

Continue to strengthen partnerships with local workforce development organizations to leverage resources to support students progress, acceleration and transition to postsecondary and workforce.

Continue to align adult education programs across the county and with the local community college to ensure acceleration and seamless transitions.

Continue to maintain a coordinated adult education calendar and improve online presence to promote programs and services across the county.


Improve Effectiveness of Services

To improve effectiveness of services, the Imperial County Adult Education Consortium will engage in the following activities.

Continue offering ongoing professional development for adult education teachers, support staff and Administrators in CAEP program areas and best instructional practices.

Engage in an annual Labor Market Information presentation and discuss annually 

 Engage in activities to support WASC (re)accreditation via presentations and ongoing technical support

Continue to provide activities, support and technical assistance for WIOA applications

Establish ongoing data monitoring practices to track progress, acceleration, completion of programs, and transition to postsecondary and/or workforce to measure impact of activities and modify as needed.  

Continue to collaborate with Imperial Valley College to support the engagement and support of students for seamless transitions.
