    Summary

    PluggedInVA (PIVA) is a career pathway program that prepares adults with the workforce training and education they will need to succeed in high-demand, high-wage careers. In partnership with local employers and postsecondary institutions, the program provides learners an opportunity to simultaneously complete a high school equivalency (HSE) credential; earn digital skills credentials, an employability certificate such as the Career Readiness Certificate (CRC), and industry-specific credentials; and strengthen their academic and professional skills.
     
    Eligible applicants should propose activities that integrate education, workforce preparation and occupational training within the PluggedInVA model for adult learners eligible for adult education services.
     
    Currently, PluggedInVA programs are approximately six months with learners participating in class from 12 to 15 hours per week. There is flexibility for applicants as they consider the needs of their cohort to innovate within the model. Programs are encouraged to consider:
    • Shorter, more intense, training options, i.e., boot camps;
    • Shorter, stackable certification or training programs where there are multiple entry and exit points and offering several in programs consecutively;
    • Working directly with employers to establish an employee training cohort; and
    • Explore earn and learn” models such as registered apprenticeships, on-the-job training, and paid internships.
