On Wednesday, August 26, 2020, please join the American Institutes for Research (AIR) for a demonstration of the U.S. PIAAC Skills Map data tool, as well as a discussion about the potential uses of the data from a policy and research perspective related to the workforce, adult basic education, and training.

A new interactive data tool was recently released by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) called the U.S. PIAAC Skills Map: State and County Indicators of Adult Literacy and Numeracy. The Skills Map provides easy access to new information about the literacy and numeracy proficiency of adults ages 16-74 in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and all 3,141 counties across the United States, as well as the ability to view side-by-side comparisons of performance for individual states and counties.

Registrants will be given the opportunity to submit questions during the webinar.
