Greening U.S. Adult Basic Skills Efforts
Publication
This 23-page guide (September 2019) presents why and how adult basic skills organizations can work with “eco-partners” (i.e., organizations supporting environmental sustainability and green jobs) to enhance adult learners’ and adult basic skill programs’ use of environmentally-sustainable practices and to help adult learners move into green job career pathways. The guide provides examples of eight types of collaborations with links to organizations doing this work and an annotated bibliography. This is one of a series of “Can-Do Guides” issued by the Open Door Collective. It was written and designed by Paul Jurmo with help from experts in adult basic skills development, environmental sustainability, and green jobs.
Presentations
ODC members Paul Jurmo and Alex Risley Schroeder presented two one-hour webinars on this topic, which drew from the Can-Do Guide of the same name (described above). The webinars were hosted by COABE and ODC in 2020, with technical support by David Rosen.
