This article covers requirements for an Integrated Education & Training (IET) class. It includes how to create a new IET class or remove the IET designation.
An IET class is one of a set of services designed for student educational and career advancement. Required elements: ABE instruction, workforce prep, and workforce training delivered concurrently and collaboratively. For more information about IET, see this link: http://mnabe.org/career-pathways/iet. If you're unsure whether a class qualifies as IET, contact Julie Dincau at the MN Dept of Education (MDE) for guidance: julie.dincau@state.mn.us.
Note: IET classes must be approved by the MDE. The IET approval form can be found on the MNABE IET page: http://mnabe.org/career-pathways/iet.
In addition to meeting the class content requirements,
- IET class names must contain "IET" AND
- Class Instructional Mode must show a "yes" for Integrated Education and Training Program.
To rename an existing class so it includes "IET," see Edit the Name of an Existing Class.
Create a new IET class
Follow the steps in General Instructions: Create a New Class, paying special attention to the fields below:
- Class Title: Make sure the class name contains "IET." Examples: Microsoft Office Specialist Program IET, IET CNA, or Women's Culinary Skills IET.
-
Integrated Education & Training Program: Select YES (Must be approved by MDE) from the menu.
For definitions of terms on the class setup screen, see: Class Setup Field Definitions - Click the Save button

- On the Classes>Summary screen, click the blue Edit button on the left side of the screen.
