CAAs were designed to establish pipelines for under-prepared, underemployed young adults to careers and additional higher education opportunities. The CAAs address foundational skills in reading, writing, and mathematics, in the context of particular career pathways of importance to the regional economy. All CAAs build on partnerships between the local community colleges, employers, workforce boards, social service agencies and community based organizations. These partnerships are instrumental in designing and implementing broad-based outreach, providing individual support and case management, and employment links to businesses and labor, including apprenticeships. Each project is designed to serve as a prototype offering instruction in remedial/developmental education and industry driven occupational training. These projects are expected to enroll substantial numbers of targeted young adults (18-30) and will incorporate independent evaluation as part of the design.
