The approaches described in this spotlight illustrates various methods for offering Integrated Education and Training (IET) programs throughout a region or state. While each described approach is contextualized to its local setting, there are common themes across these examples.

These approaches to developing regional IET programs showcase methods of sharing costs and resources for program development and implementation. Through state support, the strategic use of technology and collaboration, and innovations in outcomes and cost-sharing among partners, regional IET approaches have the potential to expand adult learners’ access to a wider range of IET programs that may better fit their interests, needs, and identified career pathway.
