Distance Learning (DL) Overview

DL is a learning modality that is available to CWES program participants who are engaged in approved WTW activities. The DL modality can be the educational activity, or embedded as part of the curriculum of the activity. These modalities are part of approved WTW activities for students attending school, or for clients participating at the ECC. The modalities are also offered to clients selected for the monthly federal WPR review. Time spent in DL is required to be reported on attendance reports. Program participants are eligible for the full array of supportive services.

DL options are part of existing processes. Refer to Welfare-to-Work (WTW) Plan Developing the Plan for additional information on DL.

The following section covers the preferred online platform used for LinkedIn Learning. This platform offers a series of DL courses for clients waiting to start an activity, in between activities, or to be used as a concurrent activity. It's also important to note that access to this platform can be made available to any CWES client who is interested.

DL fosters the following:

• Provides a remote option to clients with barriers
• Accommodates different learning styles/preferences
• Reduces barriers for clients to access quality learning content
• Gives increased client access to life improving opportunities.
