Counsel for Adult Experimental Learning
  • At CAEL, the Council for Adult and Experiential
    Learning, we deliver a comprehensive set of
    Career and Educational Advising Services designed
    to link employee learning to company goals,
    developing your workforce knowledge while helping
    to increase productivity, boost morale, and

CAEL
  • How CAEL Career and Education Advising Works
  • CAEL works with the company to communicate the
    availability of career and education advising,
    either through group meetings, payroll flyers or
    career fairs.
  • Through on-site meetings, one-on-one phone calls
    or via the internet, employees discuss their
    interests and goals with one of nearly 18
    professional CAEL career and education advisors
    located nationwide.
  • Advisors then work with employees to develop
    career or educational plans to achieve their
    goals, administer skill or interest assessments,
    and/or assist employees to document their prior
    learning for possible college credit.
  • CAEL professional advisors can then conduct
    follow-up meetings as necessary to ensure
    employees stay on track with their outlined
    goals.

CAEL
  • VZ TAP-
  • CAEL career and education advising works best
    when paired with an existing company tuition
    assistance or training program by either reducing
    overall costs or increasing participation in the
    program. Tuition assistance funds, such as those
    managed for the company through CAEL's Tuition
    Assistance Management Service (TAMS), can be used
    to pay for career and education advising.
