We will be scheduling webinars and other events to address what is happening. Please use the comment section of this post to raise a question or share your thoughts. This will be very helpful for us as we organize professional development opportunities.
NJALL is also drafting an advocacy platform with the hopes of calling attention to the concerns that some people have about the effects of WIOA implementation. For example, some people are concerned about the provision of services to basic literacy students, others are concerned about the accountability measures. Please let us know what you are thinking.
