    SUBJECT:
    “All American Success Story”
     
    The Department of Education is pleased to unveil an exciting new
    campaign designed to increase the awareness of successful Workforce
    Education programs to legislators and other stakeholders responsible
    for making decisions about the continuation of your programs.
      
    Your success stories will:
     
    showcase for all stakeholders in the state, the real
    success stories of students who participated in Technical
    Education and Adult Education programs, and now have
    highly successful careers;
     
    illustrate the potential impact of Technical and Adult
    Education on an individual’s and the state’s economic
    growth;
     
    demonstrate results of integrated academics and
    technical programs; and
     
    increase the awareness of Technical and Adult Education
    statewide for public and policymakers.
     
    The success stories will be compiled and disseminated as a publication
    to stakeholders around the state. We are committed to completing this
    product by the first week in November. With this in mind, please
    prepare and return the application on or before September 27, 2002.
    This will be a critical document to use as we prepare to seek additional
    funding for Technical and Adult Education for the next fiscal year.
