Overview of the RIDE Adult Education Request for Proposals A. About Adult Education in Rhode Island “It’s on us to make sure that every Rhode Islander has the job training and education they n... eed to get a good job.” – Governor Gina Raimondo, 2018 State of the State Address By 2025, at least 70% of the jobs in Rhode Island will require some postsecondary education (including a Bachelor's degree, Associate’s degree, apprenticeship, industry-recognized credential/license, etc.). Adult education plays a critical role in meeting Rhode Island’s workforce needs by providing academic development and job training to adult students. During program year 2016-2017, approximately 5,500 adults participated in RIDE-funded adult education programs. Adult education programs have made laudable progress over recent years:  In 2016-17, 51% of adult learners made educational gains equal to two or three grade level equivalents – the highest percentage in New England.  In 2016-17, the number of students funded by Governor’s Workforce Board (GWB) Job Development Funds that received either a GED or industry-recognized credential nearly doubled from 2015-16.  In 2017-18, two other GWB-funded initiatives - Real Jobs Rhode Island and Real Pathways Rhode Island - have significantly helped increase successful partnerships between adult education providers and business and industry.
