What is Adult Education?

Adult education is teaching something to adults. It is sometimes referred to as continuing education and many times happens in the workplace. Many businesses require it if you want to make more money and assume more responsibility in your career.

Here is a common scenario that may even be happening to you or has happened to you in the past.

You have a high school education and could not afford to go to college. You start with your company as an entry level person, let's say a delivery person. You work hard and do a good job and are promoted inside to a warehouse worker. You show up early, stay late and over time you become the warehouse manager. So far you have invested only time into your career. You have no student loans to repay and your adult education to this point is on the job training.

As you set in meeting with other managers you begin to dream about getting out of the warehouse and into the office. The only problem is to become a office manager or branch manager for your company they require a bachelor of science degree in business. There is an opportunity here however.

Your company offers continuing education by agreeing to pay 50% of the tuition cost with an up to 100% reimbursement upon graduation. You enroll at a local state university that offers evening and weekend classes to people just like you. You buckle down and do the impossible, graduating with a B.S. in Business Administration in a few short years.

Gradually you work your way into an inside managers position and eventually you running the most profitable branch in your company, a true success story. It was all made possible by your work ethic, your brains, and your companies commitment to adult education and promoting from within.

Stories like this happen all of the time. Getting more education or even education in a whole new field is easier now then ever. Colleges recognize a huge market in workers who need more education. The internet offers a never ending supply of college courses right in the comfort of your own home.

One other market is people who just want to learn about something that does not even relate to work and they take a college course at their local community college to do it. You are never to old to learn something.

Regardless of the reasons adult education is within the reach of almost everyone. Putting together a plan and then going for it is a matter of personal choice and motivation.
