Hot Off the Presses!

Back in the early days of Accelerating Achievement, we featured a guest post from Julian Alssid of the Workforce Strategy Center (WSC) outlining their response to giving lower-skill/lower-wage workers the boost they need to get the educational credentials necessary for higher-skill/higher-wage jobs. This week, WSC released a new report, What Works: BridgeConnect Stories from the Field, that showcases for successful programs that help low-income adults connect to postsecondary credentials. From the WSC release:

This report breaks new ground for WSC in that it features numerous video clips of practitioners and participants, who share first-hand the positive impacts of these programs. Viewers can see powerful examples of how these programs-- in North Carolina, Chicago, and New York City-- move people from hopelessness to stable employment.

WSC has also scheduled an interactive webinar on November 15th for practitioners interested in learning more about these programs. Check it out!
