Abstract: As the movement to tap and grow the talents of working adults continues to gain momentum, CAEL continues its thought leadership by spearheading a research partnership with Stanford Pathways Network (pathways.stanford.edu) and Strada Education Foundation. 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.
