COABE: National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week

Oakland Adult and Career Education’s 150^th Year Anniversary

Register for the CAEP Summit 2022

CALPRO Administrator’s Forum Webinar - " The Long and Winding Road: Designing Systems of Support for the Student Journey"

The National Coalition on Adult Basic Education (COABE), during National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week, is highlighting successes as it calls on federal, state, and local lawmakers to increase funding for local programs supporting adult learners which will aid their state's economic recovery.

Adult education continues to create an inclusive recovery; 78 percent of adult education students in the U.S. are people of color, many in search of reading, writing, math, technical, digital and workforce readiness skills that will put them on the path to a better-paying job. Adult education programs offer training in foundational digital skills, which are increasingly required in today's workplace but lacking in nearly 1 in 3 workers in the U.S., according to the National Skills Coalition.

National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week began Sunday and runs through Saturday, Sept. 24. The week includes a variety of activities designed to raise the visibility of work being done in the adult education field and to celebrate the successes. Access the National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week website to learn more about the upcoming events, replay webinars, listen to the Command Center Live Podcast, and more.

Join Oakland Adult and Career Education (OACE) as they celebrate 150 years of supporting adult learners in the region! The celebration will take place on Saturday, October 1, 2022 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Liberation Park (7101 Foothill Ave). At the celebration, there will be live music, roller skating, free food, games and activities for the family, raffles, and college and career resources. Representatives from OACE, the Unity Council, Lao Family, Oakland PIC, the West Oakland Job Resource Center, Oakland Unified School District, La Familia, and Peralta Colleges will be onsite to support the event and provide information related to the services and resources they provide.

This is an event you do not want to miss! Pass this invite on to anyone in the area who may want to attend.

CAEP Deliverable Reminders

The CAEP Quarter 4 Member Expense Report was due in NOVA by September 1, 2022. The consortium will certify the member expense report by September 30, 2022. Please note: since this is the closeout of a program year, it will be extremely important to ensure all quarterly expense reports are accurate prior to certification. Once the reports are certified, the consortium will no longer have access to make any changes.

The CAEP Program Area report estimates are due in NOVA by September 30, 2022. To report hours of instruction, members are to use the TOPSpro® Enterprise CAEP 2021-22 member reports by program area, their agency’s attendance system, and the community college district’s apportionment attendance reports generated from the CCFS-320 Reporting System for noncredit FTES. To report leveraged funds, use your districts accounting records.
