This session will highlight best practices which emerged out of the pandemic to ensure the effective delivery of E&T services. During the pandemic, state agencies and E&T providers transitioned to virtual services in order to sustain operations and continue serving participants. State agencies removed boundaries to continue providing remote case management, job placement and supportive services. E&T partners embraced distance learning and transformed their training methods to ensure E&T participants completed their programs. As we emerge from the pandemic, states and providers are realizing that some of the strategies they implemented were extremely effective and created efficiencies that did not previously exist. Attendees will examine these strategies as a way of operating in the “new normal.”
