ESL Outreach and Community Engagement (NOCE)
The target population for this activity is adult English language learners in North Orange County who are unable to attend classes at NOCE’s main sites (Anaheim Campus, Cypress Center, and Wilshire Center) or prefer taking ESL classes in their neighborhood.
These community-based classes (referred to as “offsite classes”) may be offered at K-12 sites, community centers, places of worship, etc. North Orange Continuing Education (NOCE) ESL is the adult education provider and partners with K-12 districts and other community partners to plan, arrange, and offer these classes.
These offsite ESL classrooms provide an accessibility to English language learning that would otherwise not be available to many members of our ESL student population due to barriers such as transportation and childcare. Scheduling and assigning instructors will be completed by the NOCE ESL Associate Dean, ESL & Citizenship.
The ESL Program Manager will oversee the ESL Community Engagement Team. The CAEP-funded ESL Community Engagement Coordinator explores, establishes, and maintains community partnerships and plans outreach events and activities. Student Services Specialists and ESL Community Liaisons provide ongoing outreach and promotion in the local community at the direction of the ESL Community Engagement Coordinator. Dedicated offsite test proctors will ensure grant compliance for CAEP and WIOA.

NOCRC Planning and Resource Maximization for Adult Learners
NOCRC remains dedicated to thoughtful planning and collaborative efforts aimed at leveraging existing funding sources and maximizing resources to serve adult learners across the region.
Budget Development and Carryover Management
In alignment with the NOCRC Decision-Making Guidance adopted in 2020, the consortium’s annual budget is approved during the March and April Executive Committee (EC) meetings. Each funded member must demonstrate how their allocated California Adult Education Program (CAEP) funds will support the implementation of regional strategies to meet CAEP objectives and produce measurable CAEP outcomes.
Carryover funds are reported at the May meeting, when next year’s projections are evaluated. Funded members can allocate carryover funds to specific strategies for the following year or release them for use by other providers. A commitment to maintain carryover funds below 20% ensures statutory compliance. Monthly expense reports assist members in tracking and managing their budgets effectively.
Integrating Multiple Funding Sources
In addition to CAEP funds, other adult education funding streams include the following:
- Noncredit Apportionment: Covers NOCE’s infrastructure and administrative costs, allowing categorical funds to focus on direct student services aligned with CAEP regional strategies
- WIOA II (AEFLA): Funds instructional assistants, assessment specialists, outreach efforts, and EL Civics curriculum development, addressing CAEP metrics such as immigrant integration
- Strong Workforce Program: Supports CTE curriculum development, instructional materials, equipment, and career center resources like LinkedIn Learning subscriptions and student-use computers
- Carl Perkins (VTEA): Covers contracted job placement services, hourly counseling, and professional development for faculty and staff at NOCE. NOCROP uses the funds to purchase instructional equipment
- Student Equity and Achievement Program (SEAP): Funds transitional services, such as a portion of the lead counselor position for NOCE’s adult dual enrollment program, aligning closely with CAEP goals
- California Work Opportunity and Responsibility for Kids (CalWORKs): Covers books and supplies for adult learners
Transparent Reporting
Each year, by September 30th, all adult education funds held by member agencies are reported, and the comprehensive funding report is shared with the NOCRC EC.
