Adult Learning

Workforce issues are driving today’s headlines. Labor, industry, and supply chains are all experiencing disruptions whose origins our system is poised to address.

The National Council for Workforce Education has announced the location and dates for their annual conference: Hyatt Hotel - Inner Harbor Baltimore, MD

The 2023 Winter Policy Forum will be held at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, February 15th from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET. 

Each EdTech Strategy Session includes two lightning talks, time for Q & A, and a thirty minute breakout session with the speaker of your choice! Sessions are held every second Friday of the month starting in October 2022 through April 2023.

How do we impact and sustain adaptability and flexibility in these dynamic times? Adult educators must consider how to reshape the integration of the contextualized aspects of adult learners and adult education, to remain part of this transformational movement of continuous engagement and creating better programs even as the urgency of the past two years starts to fade.

From across the U.S., practitioners, instructors, administrators, directors, board members, and students gather to lead change in the adult literacy field. The conference features over 100 presentations and workshops that explore how organizations and practitioners can collaborate to build instructional capacity and deliver innovative, effective services that benefit adult learners.
