5. URBAN INSTITUTE Much of the first year was devoted to start-up activities AO seems to be serving the target population, but many students have secondary school credentials The change in Pell rules affected recruitment strategies Pathways were primarily concentrated in manufacturing and healthcare 5

6. URBAN INSTITUTE Many students in AO expressed satisfaction with the program and tried to recruit others to join Some colleges IL and NC used bridge programs for AO-eligible students in the 6 th to 8 th grade adult education levels Team teaching approaches ranged from a high level of integration to the adult education instructor acting as a teacher’s aide 6

7. URBAN INSTITUTE Team teaching presented a financing challenge to states and colleges Many support services were provided, but differentiation for AO was moderate Almost all colleges had connections with workforce agencies, but information about employer engagement was mixed 7

9. URBAN INSTITUTE What were student outcomes? How many completed pathways, obtained credentials, became employed in their area of training, and experienced wage increases? How did AO impact the student outcomes relative to what they would have achieved otherwise? Did cultural change occurred as a result of AO, on either the state or college level? Did AO result in policy changes? Did AO achieve scale? Which aspects of AO were seen as most sustainable? 9
