<p>In Idaho, Integrated English Literacy and Civics Education (IELCE) funds are awarded to eligible providers through a competitive application process for multi-year grants, outlined in part (b(i)). After providers receive funds through the competitive process, they may request continuing funds on an annual basis through a renewal application. Funds are used to support the operational expenses of local IELCE programs, including teacher salaries and benefits, classroom supplies, textbooks, and other items necessary to carry out instruction. The State collaborates with local providers to build on existing best practices while expanding and/or implementing new workplace training components, as necessary.</p>

IET's will focus in in-demand occupations that lead to economic self-sufficiency. All stakeholders in the development of pathways will have input into the contextualized curriculum and to the single set of objectives and goals. Workforce partners will provide technical assistance when determining the most in-demand jobs and what those pathways make look like. English language learners seeking IELCE, but not seeking workforce training, may still participate in the IELCE IET services to assist them in identifying a chosen career pathway. In some cases, IELCE IET students will have access to job shadowing and hands-on experiences through partnerships with technical schools.

<p>Additionally, Section 243 IELCE programs must provide access to integrated education and training (IET). Per the IELCE program requirements, each program that receives funding under Section 243 must be designed to provide access to integrated education and training; a service approach that provides training concurrently and contextually with workforce preparation activities and workforce training for a specific occupation or occupational cluster for the purpose of educational and career advancement. The State Director in Idaho coordinates with the State Workforce Development Council to stay informed of workforce needs and promote employer collaboration with IET programs across the state. Section 243 recipients also prepare adults who are English language learners for, and place such adults in unsubsidized employment in in-demand industries and occupations that lead to economic self-sufficiency and integrate with the local workforce development system and its functions to carry out activities of the program. Local providers build relationships with their local departments of labor and community based organizations to understand the workforce needs of their local community as well as the training needs of community members. Local providers design programs according to the skills gaps that exist in their communities. Given the diversity of students, employers, and service providers throughout Idaho, local providers have flexibility in implementation and management of IELCE and IET programs. The program plan and budget for all such activities are reviewed and approved by the State to ensure they meet the purpose and requirements of the law.</p>
