Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Local Workforce Development Boards (WDBs) and Memoranda of Understanding (MOU)
• WIOA requires that programs collaborate with partners to
enhance career pathways for students.
• This includes participation in planning with WDBs,
development of Memoranda of Understanding (MOU), and
provision of services for shared customers.
7
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
• The Combined State Plan and Joint Partner Policy Communications guide the
establishment of local area partnerships and local MOU. These requirements will
specify how services can be connected, integrated, or enhanced by sharing
staffing and/or other resources, or jointly designed to improve outcomes for
shared customers.
• ACLS requires that programs in all 16 local workforce areas sign the local MOU.

Outstationing
• Outstationing is the practice of assigning an ABE staff person
to a One-stop Career Center (OSCC) for a set number of
hours each week
• The outstationed coordinator, acts as a liaison between ABE
programs in the region and the OSCC
• The primary role of the outstationed coordinator is to help

Shared Customers
• WIOA is designed to create a system of comprehensive services for
students/clients to advance them on a career pathway regardless of the partner
program in which they originally enroll.
• WIOA requires core partners to align, connect, and integrate services by sharing
resources and jointly designing services in ways that improve outcomes for
shared customers and prioritize serving individuals with barriers to employment.
• Core partners will work together to redesign the OSCC customer flow and service
practices across partner agencies including mapping regional career pathways
and the accessibility and availability of services to shared customers.

02 Career Pathways Services
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Career Pathways
• Career Pathways services aim to develop a continuum of
services that take adult learners from instruction to
employment. Adult education programs can offer a range of
career pathways services including career awareness, career
exploration, workforce preparation activities, bridge classes,
Integrated Education and Training services, and Integrated
English Literacy and Civics Education services.
32
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Massachusetts Career Pathways Systems Development for Adult Education
33
Massachusetts Career Pathways Systems Development for Adult Education
The career pathways system was developed to help the
estimated 37 million adults and out-of-school youth in
the United States with limited skills1 (in
Massachusetts, the number is approximately 900,0002)
obtain the skills needed for employment and help
employers fill in-demand positions. These models aim
to develop a continuum of services that take adult
learners from instruction to employment.
Career pathways are developed and maintained
through collaborations among workforce development
partners, including adult education (AE) providers,
local workforce development boards, One-Stop Career
Centers (OSCCs), training providers, postsecondary
education providers, employers, and other
stakeholders. They include three essential features:
1. Well-connected and transparent education,
training, credentialing, and support services.
2. Multiple entry points that enable students to
enter the career pathway.
3. Multiple exit points at successively higher
levels leading to self- or family-supporting
employment3.
