Hello colleagues,
Between October and March, the National Coalition for Literacy will offer a series of webinars that aim to prepare programs, teachers, and students to understand and participate safely in the Census, and to have access to some of the 500,000 temporary jobs that are required for its roll-out.
This first webinar focuses on the importance of the Census and on the enumerator jobs that will be available by April. Programs can support students in assessing their relevant skills and in applying on-line. Candidates from hard-to-count communities and/or who are bilingual are encouraged to apply!
Webinar: Census 2020: Preparing Your Adult Education Program, Participants, and Community – featuring California’s Adult Education Program
When: Oct 11, 2019, 2:00-3:00 (Eastern time)

Census 2020 is critical! An undercount of your community will mean a loss of resources and representation for the next decade. Adult education programs like yours can make a difference. The National Coalition for Literacy – adult education’s largest umbrella organization – is supporting Census 2020 awareness & capacity building efforts. This webinar will highlight California’s campaign to prepare and connect adult education learners to Census jobs.
Neil Kelly of the California Adult Education Program office will discuss the development and outcomes of work with adult education programs and students across the state. John Werner of the Sequoia Adult Education program will share their Census Enumerator job preparation program resources.
Best,
Andy Nash, NELRC/World Education
