Educational Opportunity Centers (EOC) Grants and Learning & Employment Records

Support Adult Learners with the Right Infrastructure

Educational Opportunity Centers (EOC) help adult learners return to education, navigate college access, and move toward better career outcomes. But advising alone is no longer enough.

Learning and Employment Records (LERs) give EOC programs a stronger way to support learners by making progress, skills, and achievements visible, portable, and connected to real opportunities.

For students, that means clearer pathways.
For programs, that means stronger engagement and better tracking.
For institutions, that means more credible outcomes and stronger grant alignment.
