What is IET?
What is IET?
IET is short for Integrated Education & Training. An IET program is a structured program where adult learners participate in contextualized adult education or literacy services at the same time as they are completing workforce training and workforce preparation activities aligned to a specific career or job goal.
For most IETs, two or more instructors work together to plan and deliver a contextualized curriculum that supports learners as they develop basic skills and earn one or more industry-recognized credentials. IET instructors often utilize a co-teaching model.
