The stark divide between Americans with and without postsecondary credentials became apparent during the pandemic of 2020 and 2021. Americans with degrees were largely able to retain employment while working from home while those without degrees lost positions or put their lives at risk working frontline essential jobs. Working adults provide both an opportunity and a challenge for colleges, universities, businesses and their communities. Adult learners can improve their lives and those of their children by advancing their educations, but they require flexibility and support to get over the finish line and contribute to the strength of the local workforce. This course will introduce you to adult learners and all the ways that you can support them on their educational journeys.
