Preparing adults for the demands of a changing economy and society is one of our country’s greatest education challenges.
How do we best address the needs of millions of adults who lack the literacy, technical, and basic skills to find and sustain meaningful careers, parent their children effectively, or take part in civic activities? As the demand for services rises and resources are ever more stretched, one essential strategy is increased collaboration among adult education providers.
