Resources for Adult, Alternative, Community Education and Workforce Training Partners
If you are looking for information to help with research, help in your program administration, finding more information on an organization, attending professional development or investigating what is out there for adult, alternative, community education or workforce training we have a great place to start! Below are resources that we find are helpful to program administrators.

Career Pathways:
- Career Pathways Toolkit: A Guide for System Development (A Resource of the U.S. Department of Labor)
- Staff Hours: This document could serve as a sample hourly staff log. During this unprecedented time, many staff members are working different hours or in slightly different capacities. In agreement with the Michigan Department of Education and Michigan Labor and Economic Opportunity, MACAE encourages all programs to pay staff members (salary or hourly) during this time. Ultimately, it is a local decision, but state and federal funds are allocated. MACAE recommends that programs have staff members document work hours during this time, especially if that staff member is functioning in a different capacity. This document could serve as a sample hourly staff log.
