| Abstract: | As the interest in expanding adults' access to career pathways and in improving training and employment programs moves forward with initiatives such as the federal government's Talent Strategy (U.S. Departments of Labor, Commerce, and Education, 2025), information about the types of career and college readiness (CCR) activities that can help to advance learners' education and training could be beneficial to adult foundational education (AFE) staff. Although CCR activities have been part of AFE services for decades, research on the effectiveness of CCR activities is limited. This digest provides an overview of CCR activities that have been delivered in the context of AFE career pathways approaches and what is known about the effectiveness of these activities. The brief closes with steps that could be taken to strengthen the knowledge base on implementing CCR activities with AFE learners. |
