The Department of Education's Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) has announced a new National Career Awareness project that will help up to 15 states improve adult educators' capacity to deliver career awareness instruction and counseling, key components of career pathways models. The project will use the Integrating Career Awareness into the ABE and ESOL Classroom (ICA) curriculum. Its overall goal is to increase and improve adult learners' career awareness and planning in all levels of ELL, ABE, and adult secondary education.
State teams selected to participate in the first round of the project, running January-June 2011, are from: Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas. Up to seven more states will be selected for a second round to run July-December 2011.
Applications for the second round will be available April 1, and will be due May 16, 2011. States will be notified by June 3, 2011.
The project will be managed through the LINCS Region 1 Resource Center.
