Abstract	To learn more about how nonprofits, educators, employers, and policymakers can work together to upskill the limited English proficient (LEP) workforce, Jobs for the Future (JFF) interviewed students and instructors who had participated in the pathbreaking and innovative bilingual training program known as Growing Opportunities in America for Latinos (GOAL) in the state of Indiana. The Labor Institute for Training (LIFT) in Indianapolis, which served as a catalyst for this new program, secured $3.2 million in U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) funding through the TechHire Grant in 2016; a program aimed at growing advanced manufacturing technical skills for residents with limited English proficiency. The design of GOAL is an innovative approach linking English language learners (ELLs) with occupational credentials, aligning the resources of multiple organizations to build a system to deliver a new bilingual curriculum in manufacturing. The GOAL project combined English language instruction with Certified Production Technician (CPT) training to establish career pathways in manufacturing and advance the skills of Indiana's industrial LEP labor force. This brief documents the experiences of students and teachers during the DOL-sponsored training and discusses promising outcomes that should be continued.
