Dear Adult Education Administrator:

Hello!

We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 2026 New Administrator Orientation (NAO).

This virtual training will provide an overview of the WIOA, Title II: AEFLA grant implementation requirements and available resources for grantees. The orientation is intended for new grantees and new staff of continuing agencies who have been in their position for less than three years, including:

• Adult Education Administrators
• Principals
• Supervisor-level staff
• Individuals directly supporting grant administrative activities.

The online event will be held over three days: September 15–17, 2026.

Registration is only required once for all three dates. This direct link will open the registration page on the CA Professional Development calendar. Please use your district email address to register and fill out the “membership” form if directed.

The schedule for each day, including the link to the online platform (Zoom), will be included in your registration confirmation.

We look forward to seeing you at the 2026 NAO.
