28 million adults lack basic digital skills and yet most are using computers every day. We need funding for #wifi and #devices for adult learners that want to #reskill and #upskill for the #workforce.  #COABEontheHill2023 #AdultEdLiteracyWeek #AEFL2023

#EnglishLanguageLearners are important to the job market. The number of working-age immigrants is projected to increase to 38.5 million by 2035. Train and educate #immigrants to join and contribute to the #workforce. #WorkforceDevelopment #ELL #AdultEdu #COABE #EducateAndElevate

Adult Education promotes #racialequity as 74% of our #adultlearners are people of color. Adult Education provides a hand up and out of #poverty and into #family sustaining wages. #COABEontheHill2023 #AdultEdLiteracyWeek #AEFL2023

By 2024, 48% of job openings will be middle-skill & 32% high-skill=80% of all jobs requiring more than a H.S. degree. With current issues filling labor market needs, situation will only worsen. Adult Ed provides a significant opportunity to bridge workforce supply-demand gap.

[KAEA @Kansas_Adult_Ed]

Low-skilled adults are 2x more likely to be unemployed; 3x more likely to be in poverty; 4x more likely to be in poor health; and 8x more likely to be incarcerated. Educating adults helps break inter-generational poverty and creates stronger communities. #AEFLWeek2023

For every 400,000 adults who earn a high school diploma, the economy gains $2.5 billion back in tax revenue and reduced expenses: That’s $6,250 per person!#COABEontheHill2023 #COABE2023 #AdultEdu2023 #AdultEdLiteracyWeek

Grammar humor? Instructional tool? Yes, please.

[KAEA @Kansas_Adult_Ed]

Hey, is this thing turned on? Oh, good.

*Ahem* KAEA is now officially on Twitter. Err, X.

Does this mean one eXercises now instead of tweeting?

Anyway, we're here to promote Adult Basic Education in the state of Kansas.

More on that to come.
