Lightning Solution Session: IET That Works: How to Build a Wisconsin-Ready Program (Without Reinventing the Wheel

Presented by: Shomari Miller, Account Manager, Aztec

Integrated Education & Training (IET) isn’t just a buzzword —it’s one of the most effective strategies for helping adult learners build skills, earn credentials, and transition into sustainable employment. Yet many programs still wrestle with the “how”: What qualifies as true IET? How do the three required components work together in a real instructional setting? And how do we design an IET model that’s compliant, scalable, and instructor-friendly? In this session, we’ll streamline IET and highlight how Aztec helps educators integrate assessment-aligned instruction, workforce preparation, and occupational training into one cohesive pathway—reducing resource fragmentation while accelerating measurable learner outcomes. Shomari will be giving away a
print edition of their newly updated certified training program for "Bring Your 'A' Game" (valued at over $300): This program helps learners develop the situational knowledge, foundational soft skills, and work ethic that employers demand.
