The teams will develop and implement individual work plans that are reviewed by the CFT member overseeing the broader strategy area. 

Adult Pathways  

  • Logistics, Industrial Maintenance & Manufacturing (LIMM) Pathway Bridge
  • Allied Health Pathway Bridge
  • DARTE Learning Community

Instructional Innovation  

  • ABE - ASE Learner Advancement
  • English Learner Advancement
  • Student Data and Accountability

Meeting Regional Needs

Regional Need #1

Gaps in Service / Regional Needs

The CAEP Fact sheet for DSAEA includes the following need indicators for the overall service population of 604,331:  

  • Adults with Disabilities (17%)
  • Foreign-Born (30%) 
  • Limited English Proficiency (12%) 
  • Near Poverty or Less (20%) 
  • No High School Diploma (19%) 
  • Unemployed (5%) 
  • Disconnected Youth (1%).

During the 3-Year planning process members identified the following needs and populations. These needs and populations represent the gaps that the DSAEA will seek to address and support through targeted programs and services including the pathway bridge model during the 3-year planning period: 

  • Employment Seekers 
  • Immigrants and English Language Learners
  • Digital Access and Inclusion
  • Disconnected 18-24 year olds 
  • Homeless 
  • Mental health & Increased Educational 
  • Parent support and training, Foster Youth, Formerly Incarcerated, Proactive Employer Engagement and Transportation/Physical access

The educational and economic needs of adults in the region including high poverty, low skill and educational attainment and limited English proficiency highlight the need for accelerated bridges that integrate services, using Integrated Education & Training and contextualization. 

Current program offerings and participation largely match community need with some areas for possible refinement such as increased male participation. 

The DSAEA will continue collaborating with regional planning efforts and organizations that are setting priorities for special populations like English Language Learners, Homeless and Formerly incarcerated. 

The data compiled by the Migration Policy Institute highlights the needs to address digital inclusion, poverty and the condition of underemployment or skills underutilization where residents are working in jobs that do not draw on their skills and credentials. 

  • DSAEA’s pathway development is coordinated in response to priority sectors identified in the WIOA Regional Plan including Advanced Manufacturing, Transportation and Logistics, Agriculture and Healthcare. The WIOA Regional Plan states that 

  • “ The healthcare industry is the largest generator of jobs for the region and is expected to continue to grow at a rate of 3.6%. Given the growth and demand in this industry/occupational sector, investment in the region’s healthcare career technical education pipeline should remain a priority for the region’s workforce development partners.

  • “The transportation and warehousing industry and related occupations represent a unique opportunity for the region. The growth of this industry and associated occupations have demonstrated high growth (8.3% annually) over the past five years and has a higher-than-average local demand. Many of the occupations in this sector are entry-level, but they do offer decent wages and are opportunities for job seekers entering or reentering the workforce or job seekers that experience barriers to employment.”

A core element of the Pathway Bridge model and key strategy in this plan that these needs highlight is integrated navigation and transition services across members and partners to support students throughout their educational journey.

How do you know? What resources did you use to identify these gaps?

The consortium incorporated multiple data sources into the overall assessment that are described below: 

  • U.S. Census data on needs (Educational attainment, employment status, language, poverty)
  • Qualitative data on community needs and related opportunities, challenges and potential partners collected during the Data and Planning Team process from adult ed staff including - principals, teachers, counselors, office staff as well as a team from Delta College. 
  • Member input on local goals and initiative and local planning and improvement processes and community needs 
  • Qualitative input from partners such as WorkNet, El Concilio and Ready to Work regarding participant needs and participation 
  • Related regional economic and workforce development plans 
  • A specialized U.S. Census data set compiled by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) detailing the characteristics of foreign-born individuals. Unique data points related to digital access, skills underutilization, job skill level, covid related industries 
  • Regional employer input on skills needs - Local employers Superstore Industries and Ecologic/Jabil are participating employers in the Logistics, Industrial Maintenance and Manufacturing (LIMM) Pathway bridge development effort. Allied Health bridge team  
  • San Joaquin Delta College - Adult Education Pathway Analysis completed by WestEd to support the Logistics, Industrial Maintenance and Manufacturing Pathway bridge  includes data on promising occupations, related skill needs and wage data and a conceptual bridge model  
How will you measure effectiveness / progress towards meeting this need?

Member program participation and outcomes data (Participation, Performance and Persistence rates) Partner program participant data Progress towards targets identified for specific metrics in the Three Year planInput generated during periodic Public/Community Engagement Workshops to assess community needs. Topics to be addressed and considered when assessing effectiveness include: 

  • Adult Ed Needs
  • Trends and Opportunities
  • Assets: programs, grants, current collaborations
  • Potential Changes-program improvements, new programs

Fiscal Management

A narrative justifying how the planned allocations are consistent with the annual adult education plan which is based on your CAEP 3-year plan.

Planned allocations are designed to enhance member capacity to implement and sustain programs that support students to meet their goals. The 3-year plan and annual plan are guiding reference documents that inform allocations and are reviewed regularly at Steering Committee meetings. Members are committed to implementing the strategies and projects detailed in the plan and their allocations are accordingly consistent with them. This year’s annual plan implementation will be guided by project teams to drive implementation. Successful implementation requires coordinated resources and administrators will provide guidance to ensure adequate resources are allocated at the consortium and site-level to support them. A regional fund is designated for catalytic regional projects. The Consortium Facilitation Team provides general oversight and direction on the use and monitoring of allocated funds with Steering Committee input.

An approach to incorporating remaining carry-over funds from prior year(s) into strategies planned for 2024-25.

Members will be advised to spend all carry-over funds from prior years before spending down “new” money (First In First Out). Members will also be advised to develop a sustainable annual budget that does not require the ongoing use of carryover funds or the ongoing accumulation of carryover greater than 10% of their annual allocation. Carryover funds may be targeted toward 1-time allowable use expenditures. Carry-over funds in the Regional Allocation may be made available to members or partners as part of a special innovation fund to catalyze and support transformative projects. Remaining funds from prior year allocations are redistributed to members to support overall program and facility improvements.
