Adult Education & Literacy Teachers & Providers

Overview

Adult Education and Literacy (AEL) providers are organizations with instructors delivering English language, math, reading, writing and workforce training instruction to help adult students acquire the skills needed to succeed in the workforce, earn a high school equivalency, and enter and succeed in college or workforce training.
