“ñ's Adult Education Program benefits anyone who intends to work with the adult population, whether in an educational setting, human resource environment, or even general training contexts. This program helped me understand different aspects of what makes adult learners unique and how to tailor my teaching strategy and leadership style to ensure adults can meet their potential. The program changed my perspectives towards adult learners in ways I did not expect, but it will significantly assist me in a career where I work with adult learners daily. I would highly recommend this program!”
