Abstract	The second annual implementation report for the Accelerating Opportunity (AO) initiative in four states finds that: (1) colleges aligned pathways and supports with local needs; (2) students were satisfied with AO; (3) AO instructors grew more adept at team teaching; (4) colleges struggled to recruit adult education students; (5) states and colleges sought new financial support and developed partnerships; (6) colleges served more students with fewer resources; and (7) states changed policies to support and sustain AO. AO provides grants to help community colleges create career pathway programs to enroll students with low basic skills into for-credit career and technical education courses to improve educational and employment outcomes. The following are appended: (1) Required Elements of AO and Theory of Change; and (2) North Carolina Accomplishments in AO. (As Provided).
