The California Adult Education Program (CAEP) aims to enhance the educational and economic success of adult learners in diverse regional economies through innovative practices. A qualitative research study involving 12 exemplary sites revealed seven promising practices and an integrated convergence model, highlighting their significant impact on student performance, particularly for Students of Color. By conducting extensive interviews with more than 200 stakeholders, the research sought to understand how these sites effectively serve learners and the factors influencing their program effectiveness. Findings emphasize the potential for these practices to strengthen student transitions into college and careers both within and beyond California. Download the full report today!

Building Partnerships that Count

Be Proud – California is Diverse. Just as our regional economies are diverse across California, so are the adult learners that live in, and contribute to, their communities. Because of this diversity, CAEP empowers 71 regional consortia to design innovations and best practices that align with the goals of adult learners; these innovations are in turn shared among consortium members and partner agencies, sparking a synergistic trading of ideas and a vibrant, growing body of knowledge.

The high quality programs and practices developed through the integration of K-12 adult education and community college resources on a regional level are uniquely suited to equip all available workers with the tools they need to contribute to California’s economic growth.

There are close to 400 CAEP members and more than 1,000 community partners within our 71 consortia that work synergistically through our multiple partner locations in every part of the state to create available access points for adult learners.
