Missouri AEL Statistics
AEL Students
Number of students that enrolled and stayed in an AEL program for 12 or more hours.
Core Outcome Measures
Educational Gain
Three possible influences on the increase in student progression in FY2009 include: the economic situation in the U.S. that influences the quality and motivation of our students, AEL program improvement projects, and the STAR reading project.
Entered Employment
The last half of Fiscal Year 2009 saw an unusual increase in the number of adults entering the AEL program in need of assistance to prepare for employment, undoubtedly due to the economy. Local AEL programs' partnerships with their local WIA Title I program operators helped these individuals find employment.
