Refers to the state Measurable Skills Gain (MSG) standard derived from the National Reporting System's (NRS) performance measures and includes the following outcomes: Educational Functioning Level (EFL) completion, High School Equivalency (HSE) credential attainment, and Postsecondary Education or Training (PSE/T) enrollment after students exit from a program.
To ensure that adult education students achieve and maintain family-sustaining wages, it is paramount that programs help students achieve outcomes to that end. Programs must provide high-quality instruction that helps students complete educational functioning levels (EFL), attain high school equivalency (HSE) credentials, enroll in postsecondary education and/or training (PSE/T), and have viable careers. The ACLS vision for adult education focuses on outcomes in order for programs to continue to support students on their pathways to success. Moreover, WIOA ensures access to education and workforce services for individuals with barriers to employment through increased accountability among states that receive federal adult education funding.
