On May 4, 2010, six national organizations, including JFF, wrote to key U.S. senators and representatives with advice on improving the educational and economic outcomes of low-skilled adults: “We see a tremendous opportunity in the reauthorization of WIA: to make changes to Title II so that adult education and English literacy programs are able to ensure that more low-skilled individuals move along the continuum from low skills to success in college and job training, career pathways, and jobs that pay a family-supporting wage. Not only will such success be good for many millions of individuals, but it is vital for our nation to compete effectively in the global economy.”
