Overview
Date Announced: May 21, 2021
Geographic Scope: Inland Empire (San Bernardino and Riverside Counties), California
Purpose: To support the development of a Transition Coach Program for returning adult learners (ages 25+) in the Inland Empire
Target Population: Adult learners ages 25 and older who have obtained some college but do not hold a degree or certificate
Background: GIA established an Adult Learner Action Network Team coordinating efforts among education leaders and workforce partners to help adults in the region increase their education levels.
Program Services: Transition coaches will help individuals:
- Identify a career path
- Enroll in the right classes
- Apply for financial aid
- Link to additional resources such as childcare, transportation, mental health services, and other support services
Key Facts:
- Inland Empire residents with a Bachelor's degree earn approximately $24,000 more per year on average than those with only a high school diploma (2017 census data)
- Large number of adults in the Inland Empire have some postsecondary credits and may be closer than realized to earning a degree or certificate
