Safal analyzed WIOA requirements, developed a literature review, and identified interagency collaboration opportunities. The project prioritized research questions, facilitated federal convenings, and created a visual data dashboard. Safal's work culminated in data-based recommendations for future federal investments in adult education and literacy.
