This document outlines the Integrated Education and Training (IET) program approval and documentation process for Adult Education and Literacy (AEL) programs in Vermont. In summary, the process includes:

• submission of the IET checklist to the Agency of Education (AOE) to propose an IET model;

• review and approval of the IET checklist by AOE staff;

• submission of the IET Registration Form for each IET program/cohort implementation based on an AOE-
approved checklist of an IET model;

• AOE and AEL provider final meeting to confirm details of each IET program held in the fiscal year, including
dates, to ensure that all requirements were met and evaluate program and student success as documented
in the Executive Summary of the IET Checklist.

• AEL providers confirm student completion of program requirements and that student enrollment in an IET
is documented in LACES.

The purpose of the IET Proposal Outline is to provide guidance for Adult Education & Literacy (AEL) providers to start the approval process for initiating an IET Program that meets all the requirements set forth by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and the State of Vermont. It is important to note that the Vermont Agency of Education (VTAOE) does not have any additional requirements, other than what is stated in WIOA, directly or indirectly, to meet the criteria for an IET.
