Objectives
Address Educational Needs
During the key information interviews, the Consortium identified a need to increase awareness about adult schools and the programs and services available to adult learners. In addition, the interviews identified a need to provide more adaptable schedules and curriculum to meet the needs of adult learners. In particular, undocumented students are unable to access certain services. These barriers have led to decreased enrollment/service utilization. To support student educational needs, the Consortium proposes the following strategies to address the challenges identified:
Strategy 1.1: Increase Marketing and Outreach Efforts Among SAEC
The SAEC will develop an enrollment campaign by creating student testimonials’ sharing students’ experiences and success stories. Once developed, the videos and marketing content will be shared with local employers to raise awareness of the various adult education programs. In addition, the SAEC will create offerings that match the needs of the student population. They will do so by conducting a survey to identify courses/schedules that work for student schedules. One the survey is completed, schedules will adjust to create offerings that align with student needs.
Strategy 1.2: Increase Support for Undocumented Students
The SAEC will identify jobs/industries available for undocumented students. Once identified, the Consortium will develop career paths/job offerings to undocumented students they would be eligible for. As a result of the development, marketing material will be created and disseminated among the members to share with eligible students. In addition, the SAEC will identify resources needed for undocumented student. In addition, the SAEC will develop support and seminars for undocumented students.
Improve Integration of Services & Transitions
During the key information interviews, the Consortium identified a significant variation in coordination/collaboration between members and workforce development entities/stakeholders. There wasn’t a baseline collaboration between local industries and consortium sites. Some schools stated their involvement with the Workforce Board was valuable while others did not. In addition, there seemed to be different understandings of the school’s role in the collaboration with the board. In addition, members were challenged with implementing the dual enrollment process. While there are efforts around dual enrollment, it has been difficult to find momentum and make tangible changes. As a result, the to improve integration of services and transitions, the Consortium identified the following strategies:
Strategy 2.1: Develop and implement dual enrollment
The SAEC will refine the dual enrollment program by initially assessing the current enrollment process. Once assessed, the Consortium will identify gaps in the process. They will then create standard processes among the consortium. Once the processes are developed, they will create a universal list of courses with reciprocity among the schools. The list will be shared among members and will drive students to make informed decisions on their coursework.
Strategy 2.2: Develop pathways to employment
The SAEC will develop a pipeline between employers and adult education to increase awareness and provide supportive services for the Solano workforce. In addition, the Consortium will strengthen the connection with the Solano Workforce Development Board (WDB) to participate on a consistent basis with the Consortium.
Improve Effectiveness of Services
As identified in the key informant interviews and strategy sessions, the Consortium could strengthen its efforts to develop data driven solutions. While there is a Data & Accountability work group that meets monthly, there are opportunities to strengthen this collaboration. In addition, the SAEC identified an opportunity to collaborate to offer consortium wide professional development opportunities. To support improve effectiveness of services, the Consortium identified these strategies:
Strategy 3.1: Develop Data Driven Solutions for the Consortium
The SAEC will review and analyze CAEP data on a consistent basis to develop strategies to enhance learner success. In addition, members will review and analyze pipeline data to identify key trends to make informed decisions about programmatic changes.
Strategy 3.2: Collaborate to offer consortium wide professional development opportunities
The SAEC will identify and share professional development opportunities among the consortium that will result in a shared employee orientation guide. In addition, the members will seek out professional development opportunities that will support ESL instructors that will help English language learners.
Activities & Outcomes
Create an enrollment campaign
Objective that Applies to this Activity
Address Educational Needs
Create an enrollment campaign: To increase awareness of the various programs and services offered by adult education, Consortium members will identify success stories among current and former students. Once identified, the member agencies will develop media content to highlight their successes. The members will work collaboratively to then share the stories and marketing content online and via social media. Once posted, the members will identify local employers and local community resources to share the information to raise awareness. As a result, SAEC member sites will see an increase in the number of adults served.

Once identified, the Consortium will prepare marketing material to match students to the identified opportunities. The member sites will share the material with eligible students allowing them to make informed decisions about career pathways. As a result, the number of English Language Learners served will increase among member agencies.

Identify resources for undocumented students
Objective that Applies to this Activity
Address Educational Needs
Identify resources for undocumented students: To provide further support to undocumented students, the Consortium will develop a survey to better understand the needs of this population. Once the survey is developed, the members agencies will work together to disseminate the survey to students to ensure it represents the total undocumented student population among the Consortium. Once the survey is conducted, the Consortium will review and analyze the survey findings to determine what resources are needed for this population. The Consortium will work together to find resources including where applicable, shared resources (e.g. virtual legal aid session). Once identified, each member agency will work to share material and develop seminars to support undocumented students. As a result, the number of English Language Learners served will increase among member agencies.

Objective that Applies to this Activity
Improve Integration of Services & Transitions
Create a pipeline for adult education: The Consortium will work together to reach out to key industries to share information about the education programs available at the member sites. Through these connections, the Consortium will identify current coursework that is most relevant to employers. The member sites will then work with the employers to develop a cohort of employees to take coursework together to sharpen their skills. In addition, where applicable, courses may be offered at job sites to ease convenience for employees and employers. As a result, the median change in earnings will increase among students.

The planned allocations will be distributed to member agencies based on the originally approved percentages. Each member will utilize these funds to support existing Adult Education programs, grow and strengthen existing activities where indicated by increased targets, and implement the activities detailed within the SAEC three-year plan. The Consortium will continue to augment CAEP funding with a variety of local and federal funding sources over the next years included the following sources:
State / Federal Funding
CalWORKs
CCD Apportionment
Jail Funding
LCFF/District Funds
Perkins V
WIOAII
Other Funds
Fees / Contracted Services
Strong Workforce
In-kind resources
On an annual basis, members will develop and approve member allocation budgets through the annual budget development process outlined in the SAEC bylaws. The final allocation budget is entered into the current year’s Consortium Fiscal Administration Declaration. This document is reviewed and approved at the SAEC Board meeting, a public meeting, by board-designated, voting members. Lastly, the Consortium utilizes the annual planning process as a mechanism to review consortium goals and strategies and ensure funding allocations are aligned.
