Hello folks,

New England Transitions to College and Careers Pilot

The Nellie Mae Education Foundation seeks organizations and institutions
in the six New England states that provide Adult Basic Education, ESOL,
GED or Diploma classes as a primary educational service and that also
currently offer program elements that support adult learners
transitioning to college. The collaborating college should have a
history of coordinating activities with key health care services
employers. 

This Pilot Program will be administered in partnership with the New
England Literacy Resource Center (NELRC) and will focus on helping adult
learners access and persist in postsecondary education in pursuit of
select high-growth occupations in health care fields that have developed
career pathways and pay family-sustaining wages. 

NELRC will assist the Foundation in selecting grantees and will provide
them with technical assistance, training, and support for program
implementation. Planning grants of up to $10,000 will be awarded to four
to six partnerships for the period from August - December 2008.
Partnerships that complete their proposed planning activities will be
eligible for up to $80,000 to implement the pilot program from January -
December 2009.
