 The first major reform in the publicly funded workforce system in over a decade.  Encourages Adult Education to provide new opportunities for innovation and collaboration with state and local agencies as well as business and industry.  Increases employment, education, training, and support services for individuals (particularly those with barriers to employment, and to the services they need to succeed in the labor market)

Because of WIOA requirements, changes in workplace organizations and the economy, the delivery of education and training to working adults and those actively seeking employment by Adult Education has been RESHAPED. In Short:  Adult literacy, Adult Basic Education, High School Credential preparation, along with Employability Skills will be united with the Adult Education Complex to provide a local full service resource to assist those unprepared and unemployable of Lancaster and surrounding counties to develop or reshape their career path.

Through a collaborative partnership with Lancaster High Career Center, it is the goal of Adult Education to provide citizens of Lancaster and surrounding counties with job specific training that will empower individuals with the resources and knowledge needed to become successful and productive citizens of our society.

 The majority of our citizens will not have transportation or financial resources to acquire training for today’s workforce.  This project will provide us with the necessary resources to create a seamless transition for our students completing secondary credentials as well as unemployed and displaced citizens to career preparation

 The program will provide individuals with job specific training that will prepare them for gainful employment within their chosen career path. Electricity Welding Machine Tools Paint & Finishing Culinary Arts Certified Nursing Assistant
