Learners’success or failure is predictable along the axes of race, class, ability, and English proficiency, among other factors. Individuals at the margins have lower rates of high school and college completion, higher rates of poverty, and limited pathways to stability. These gaps have a detrimental impact on communities and create bleak diminished prospects for the  \nU.S. workforce. Approximately  \n36 million adults in the United States do not have the skills to get ahead, and they face barriers to accessing the education and training they need to move forward. While employers’ demand for skilled workers grows, the number of qualified adults has been stagnant. Presently, only 35% of job opportunities are available to those with a high  \nschool diploma or less – and a smaller percentage of these job opportunities provide a living wage. For low-income adults, the pathways to success are limited, with many obstacles along the way.  \nWe have the opportunity to bend the future toward greater justice and equity. Relevant, intentional career pathways can dramatically shift the trajectory for communities, particularly in low-income communities where adults without any postsecondary training or education lack access to programs that are structured  \npaths to prosperity. However, despite the promise of career pathways, there are not many successful and cost-effective models that help low-income adults specifically. Yet thereis a great need in the U.S. workforce for adults who have technical knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience.  \nIn order to create a greater abundance of effective and affordable pathways for lowincome learners, the Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) created Minds That Move Us (MTMU) . MTMU challenges the bright minds of communities around the country to design innovative education and training models that create social equity and economic mobility for all. The MTMU Adult Career Pathways Design Challenge was developed in partnership with the Coalition on Adult Basic Education (COABE) and the National Association of State Directors of Adult Education (NASDAE), with funding from the ECMC Foundation. The challenge focused on the creation of bold, sustainable career pathways approaches for low-income adults (age 26+) . The challenge engaged 10 community-based teams in a two-year process to design sustainable, innovative adult career pathways models for a chance to win $100,000 in prize money.  \nWhy a Challenge?  \nMany innovation initiatives fail because there are no intentional opportunities available for the generation of new ideas, processes, and models. The MTMU methodology created the conditions for bold innovation through a balance of collaboration and competition. The issues and opportunities for career pathways programs are intimately understood by leaders, practitioners, and especially learners.  \nSolutions to these problems can be unlocked by giving communities resources to bring their innovation to life.  \nTo spark new designs, IEL, COABE, and NASDAE launched this challenge for community leaders to create career pathway approaches that support low-income adults in successfully transitioning into jobs in high-growth and highdemand industries. More than 115 teams around the country applied to participate in this challenge. Ten teams were selected to build and iterate on their designs. The 10 adaptable, place-based solutions highlighted in this toolkit serve as a guide for future adult career pathways models that close gaps and create  \ngreater mobility for low-income adults, especially in a climate of growing unemployment, deeper socioeconomic divides, and changing technology.  \nKey Experiential Elements of MTMU  \n1.
