Good morning,
I want to share with you an item I found in today's OVAE Connection, State Data-based profiles. See the following for details on accessing this important data.
State Data-based Profiles Underscore Need for Adult Education Programs
OVAE recently released infographics with the title Tapping the Potential: Profile of Adult Education Target Population. These profiles are available for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, as well as for the country as a whole. Using Census data, the profiles display the percentages of adults without a high school credential or English proficiency by age, gender, race, and ethnicity, and their participation rates in the labor market and in adult education. The graphics also cover both the federal and state investment in adult education by year for 2009 and 2010. To find the individual state profiles as well as frequently asked questions about the data and the findings, visit:

How have you used Census data in your programs? In addition to Census data, what other resources have you found to be helpful in managing an adult education program?
