The Role of Adult Education in the Workforce Development System
Adult education providers teach academic and employability skills that lead to higher wages, transition learners to further education and training, increase learners’ English language proficiency and help parents become more involved in their children’s education.
Workers with a high school diploma or GED® credential can earn on average $9,000 more per year than those without, and workers with an occupational credential can earn even more. Training is offered in high-demand, well-paying occupations.
