OVERVIEW
In the United States, shifts in adult education facilitated by WIOA and CCRS now place a stronger emphasis on workforce readiness and career development. This session will demonstrate how we can help students learn to evaluate their current skills and personal drive to reach for success to make lifetime goals and plan for their futures.

Staci Johnson
Ever since I can remember, I’ve been fascinated with other cultures and languages. I love to travel and every place I go, the first thing I want to do is meet the people, learn their language, and understand their culture. Becoming an ESL teacher was a perfect way to turn what I love to do into my profession. There’s nothing more incredible than the exchange of teaching and learning from one another that goes on in an ESL classroom. And there’s nothing more rewarding than helping a student succeed.
