World Education's EdTech Center will share learnings and best practices from an innovative, industry-contextualized blended English language training program featuring self-paced learning and remote instruction, optimized for mobile access. Under the New American Workforce initiative, the National Immigration Forum partnered with the EdTech Center, a network of community colleges, and several large employers to design, pilot and scale this mobile-first training curriculum that has benefited over 1,000 workers in the retail and rideshare industries.

Digital US: Envisioning an Ecosystem that Supports Digital Skills and Lifelong Learning for Adults

Join our expert panelists in a discussion on how technology is enabling the development of a new “learn and work” ecosystem to prepare adults for college and career readiness and help them become lifelong learners in an increasingly digital world. How can we uplift and support the institutions that serve adult learner-workers — especially those learners who have basic skills gaps and low-incomes? How do we help these organizations keep up with the pace of change and leverage technology to increase outcomes? Members of Digital US, a consortium of national organizations aligned around digital equity, will spotlight promising work and invite collaboration. We will highlight promising practices and resources that help organizations build digital capacity and tech integration models to improve outcomes for adult learners.
