Friday Forum: A Story of Success: Instilling Hope & Pursuing Economic Advancement through Intentional Transitions Support for ELLs
This session will highlight two essential components for effective transitions of adult English learners (ELs) into postsecondary, credentialing, and career
attainment opportunities: SMART goal driven long-term career mapping and the role of trauma-trained success coaches. Implementing trauma-informed
practices in contextualized learning environments is crucial for sustainable goals development and career attainment among ELL populations.
Additionally, the ability to develop SMART goals and create long-term career plans that connect to industry-aligned learning pipelines are vital elements of successful and
holistic transitions programs.
