    More about the program: Opportunity-Ready: A Micro-credential Pathway for All Learners

    The Opportunity-Ready pathway was developed at the request of the Maine Department of Corrections to provide content for delivery on the Edovo tablets that are implemented across MDOC facilities. The focus skills requested were life skills, education ready skills, and work ready skills. While the pathway was originally developed based on the request from MDOC, it became clear rather quickly that the pathway could also be used to support skill development in a wide variety of audiences. In this panel discussion, attendees will learn about the different components of the Opportunity-Ready experience, and the implementation of the pathway with incarcerated individuals, as well as populations in recovery, those working with adult education, high school and community college students, and rural learners in their communities.
