Through federal initiatives, OCTAE uses national leadership funds to support States in improving the quality and outcomes of adult education and literacy activities. In order for State administrators and State professional development leaders to plan training and professional development opportunities for their respective States and AEFLA funded providers, OCTAE's Division of Adult Education and Literacy will continually update this webpage to share new and upcoming federal initiatives and opportunities available.
See below for a list of upcoming national activities and opportunities available for States.
