Why study Adult Education?

Since many adults will return to the classroom at various stages in their lives, educators can benefit from specialized training that helps adults refresh their skills or change careers. The Adult Education program is designed to give educators the tools and skills to help adults realize their goals. Learning is a life-long endeavour, and the program is suited to those interested in enhancing their skills as:

Community facilitators
Industrial and business training specialists and consultants
Health-care educators
In-service education coordinators
Volunteer service coordinators
