Narrative
LBAEC will promote training for faculty and staff, collaborate with community partners, and increase the access to services and programs using culturally competent strategies for the Long Beach community. The planned allocations are consistent with these goals and will lead to short-term and long-term impact on the adults in this region. LBAEC identified four major goals through its pre-planning assessment, review of labor market information, and of community needs in the region: Leveraging consortium resources and partnerships to strategically recruit students, Creating diverse programming to meet the community’s needs, Meeting the workforce demands of a changing economy, Streamlining access to services provided by consortium partners and community members to ensure seamless transitions and support for students. LBAEC continues to improve a seamless transition of students between the school partners by providing increased counseling and opportunities for exploration, both at LBSA and LBCC. LBCC will continue to provide a dedicated counselor to LBSA and increase her hours. Her role will be to work one on one with students as they complete at LBSA and provide support matriculating into noncredit programs at LBCC. She will help monitor access and student progress from the adult school into the college setting. LBAEC will continue investing in professional development on equity and inclusion, implicit bias, identity and racial justice for faculty and staff of consortium members as well as for community partners. Work on the LBAEC website will include information on support service resources available from LBCC, LBSA, and community partners. LBSA continues to offer four levels of ESL, High School Diploma, HiSET Prep and Distance learning, Animal Care, C.N.A. and Custodial Class. Students struggled with the forced transition to on-line learning and the lack of technology and internet service at home. LBSA will continue to support enrollment with social media and e-mail campaigns, offering additional ABE and beginning ESL classes in the evenings to meet demand and providing a technology workshop to improve computer skills. In addition LBSA will continue its new citizenship workshops. LBSA will continue supporting an instructional materials packet pick up program, both in the afternoon and evening to keep these students connected until we can return to in-person instruction. LBCC will continue community outreach and info sessions to orient students to distance learning and supportive tools as well as add virtual and in person classes at K-12, direct service providers, libraries, and nonprofit partners. LBCC will continue to use new dedicated outreach and enrollment staff to help with community outreach for new student enrollment and matriculation to new courses and admissions and registration staff to help with efficiencies in enrollment identifying certificate completions. Funding of IITS staff will improve the online enrollment and registration process. LBCC will fund a part time web developer to improve the online information available including on noncredit programs as well as partner resources in the community such as support for housing and food insecurities. LBCC will continue to engage in social media marketing for noncredit courses. LBCC is leveraging WFD resources and reviewing labor market data to ensure programs align with labor market needs and employment opportunities. LBCC will also expand job readiness services.
