Transition to Post-Secondary Goals and Initiatives
Three-Year Initiative: 2007 – 2010
The Minnesota Adult Basic Education (ABE) delivery system of the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) provides opportunities statewide for adults to acquire basic academic skills. The ABE system ultimately fulfills its mission by preparing individuals for jobs or, in many cases, for further education or training. It is uniformly agreed that the majority of in-demand and sustainable-living jobs require education or training beyond the basic academic skills. Therefore, the ABE system is responding to this critical need through the establishment of the following goals which will increase ABE program capacity for ABE clients to move seamlessly into post-secondary education and training programs.
