September is Workforce Development Month 

As the data regarding adult education suggests, it’s critical to support a national workforce that meets the needs of businesses, communities, families and individuals. Now that adult education providers are increasingly undertaking the mission of workforce training integrated with literacy and basic skills instruction, KET’s Workplace Essential Skills can serve as a useful tool.
