Partnership with Texas Workforce Commission

The Texas State Library and Archives Commission partnered with the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) to expand library engagement with local Adult Education and Literacy (AEL) providers over a 15-month period in 2016-17. The objectives of the project were:

  • Develop tools and resources
  • Facilitate training and technical assistance to libraries
  • Develop or expand library engagement with local AEL providers
  • Share best practices of AEL/library engagement in the state

This project formed one part of the larger TWC AEL Training, Resource and Innovation Network for Texas (TRAIN Tex) strategy, which supports professional development, relevant research, and capacity-building projects that can sustain and advance a robust system of AEL providers and workforce partners to accelerate the advancement of education and training priorities across the state. Coordination of service delivery with libraries is a part of the TWC AEL's Strategic Plan for 2015-2020.
