Adult Learners' Week 2008
Adult Learners’ Week encourages thousands of adults, whatever their age and background, to give learning a go: whether it’s learning for pleasure, catching up on skills missed out on at school or getting that new job or promotion. It also celebrates the learning achievements of those adults already learning and brings their inspirational stories to a wider audience. Whether you want to gain new skills or qualifications to get a promotion at work, or want to learn more about a subject you’re interested in, adult learning could be the ideal solution. Thursday 22nd May, celebrates Learning in the Workplace. Skills gaps are holding back growth, jobs are becoming more complex, and new technology is changing the workplace. That’s why more workplaces than ever before now recognise the business as well as the personal benefits of adult learning and see Adult Learners’ Week as a great way of promoting the benefits of learning at and for work.
