2026 Iowa Adult Education & Literacy Conference

A strong HiSET program begins with understanding what learner data reveals about access, performance, and outcomes. This session reviews the HiSET Statistical Report to highlight participation trends, pass rates, subject‑level strengths and challenges, and retesting patterns. Participants will consider what the data suggests about learner demand, where individuals may be encountering barriers, and which supports most effectively strengthen persistence and completion. The focus is on moving from “data awareness” to “data‑informed action” by identifying practical improvements across preparation supports, referral workflows, and test center operations. The session will also share any program updates and introduces the HiSET Workforce Hub, which connects credential attainment to career pathways and streamlines coordination among partners.
