The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) is a national, nonprofit membership organization working to improve education-to-career pathways for adult learners. We help organizations succeed by providing expertise, resources, and innovative solutions that effectively support adult learners as they navigate on- and off-ramps between education and employment.
This six-year project will be offered across five cities to provide adult learners with access to affordable postsecondary classes, connect more job seekers to higher-wage jobs and long-term career opportunities, and encourage financial services organizations to hire more adult learners and set them up for success. CAEL has selected the Charlotte, NC, Memphis, TN, and South Florida regions as three of five locations to implement this initiative.
Build Better Careers is funded by the Truist Foundation. "Where It Starts" is a Truist Foundation multi-year initiative designed to create real, meaningful change for entrepreneurs and career-seekers in underserved communities. Truist Foundation partners with local and national nonprofits to build new, innovative programs that break down barriers and open doors for growth and success.

Natural Hazards and Risk Assessment
ESCI 3000
Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from University of North Carolina at Charlotte to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the latter half of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this program/course will discuss natural disasters on Earth and their impact on humans. This will include volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and other catastrophic natural phenomena with emphasis on causes, effects and human adjustments. Student work will include natural hazard identification and risk assessment, risk communication, hazard mitigation and hazard prediction. Students will also be working on hazard preparedness plans as well as post-disaster response and recovery plans. Students will work in small groups of 2-3 to address a wide range of natural hazard resilience challenges - maybe even your own!
