Increasing numbers of students are enrolling without the basic skill requirements for the programs.
ADE will work with these programs to design intake/assessment practices and basic skill delivery within Job Training to increase the success of the students who arrive with basic skill deficits.

It promotes the cognitive and affective growth of all postsecondary learners, at all levels of the learning continuum.
