College, Career, and Support Services
Develop systems and expand programs and services to support students' transition into and out of educational and career preparation to ultimately increase transitions to postsecondary education or career training. This includes pathways/transition support staff who provide student onboarding/orientation, advising, and referral services. It also includes new adult dual enrollment agreements. Review student progress and identify barriers, including specialized learning designations, to strengthen enrollment, persistence, and completion and improve transition support between adult schools and the college and/or career services. In addition, provide child care support, transportation support, and technology services to students enrolled in courses when possible.
The consortium also recognizes the need to support the mature workforce which may need to upskill to remain current and relevant with the demands for tech and AI.

Fiscal Management
Alignment & Carryover
Currently all members of our consortium are under the 20% carryover amount. Now our consortium is concerned with how we are going to function without those funds.
All consortium members are currently all under the 20% carryover.
Usage
The consortium used some carryover funds for one time needs, however now we will all be looking at more conservative spending and maintaining existing programs and facilities. Students remain to be the top priority of our consortium.
