In this joint initiative, "Designing Opportunity for Working Adult Learners," the partners offer a series of research briefs providing data-driven insights for postsecondary education providers, employers, and other organizations serving working/adult learners. This first brief focuses on adult learner mindsets about college and related implications for designing educational programs. |
