| Abstract | Although high school completion rates have slowly increased over the past several decades, nearly 30 million adults today still lack a high school credential and, as a result, face a significant barrier to both higher education and employment opportunities. Policymakers and practitioners in the adult education field are searching for ways to improve the quality of programs that prepare students for high school equivalency exams, particularly in the past few years due to changes to the General Educational Development (GED) exam. The GED exam is intended to meet Common Core standards as well as to test students on the skills and knowledge required for them to transition to postsecondary education or training, and ultimately to careers. As such, GED preparation programs have been adapting their curriculum and services to focus on careers in which workers are in high demand. This movement has been part of a broader approach called career pathways, which aims to improve students' basic educational and occupational skills while they earn high school and technical credentials as well as postsecondary certifications or degrees. MDRC described the four main elements of this career-focused GED curriculum model in "A Career Approach to GED Instruction" (ED558494) in April 2015. These elements are (1) a career-focused curriculum; (2) support services to help students enter college or a career; (3) direct connections to postsecondary institutions; and (4) managed cohort enrollment. An example of the model is the GED Bridge to College and Career (GED Bridge) program at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC). MDRC is currently evaluating NWTC's GED Bridge program. This case study describes the program components, the characteristics of the students in the evaluation, and early implementation findings. (ERIC). |
