The State Center Adult Education Consortium consists of 14 adult schools, four community colleges, one community college center, a county jail program, a regional occupational program and other local partners that provide basic education and short-term career technical education training for adults 18 years and older in order to assist with seamless transitions into the workforce and/or post-secondary education.

All members and partners of consortia are charged with working together to provide educational opportunities, job training and help create a stronger workforce. This is accomplished regionally and the SCAEC team specifically facilitates and assists in the development and implementation of those goals with all members.

The Fresno County Superintendent of Schools CTE/ROP Department offers five short-term CTE courses in rural districts to serve adults in learning new skills or in upskilling for their current positions in the workforce. Please look at the schedule for more information.
