Basic education & work training programs for hard-to-employ adults

Bridge programs and career pathway programs provide a way for at-risk youth or unemployed or hard-to-employ adults (e.g., low-skilled adults) to gain the skills and industry-specific knowledge needed for additional education or employment . Such skills may include basic reading, math, and writing. These programs are designed to ease students or workers into higher education or employment opportunities to reduce their chances of attrition during challenging transitions.
