Perfect Time to Share Why Adult Education is Important

Did you know adult education has its own designated celebration? Adult Education and Family Literacy Week is observed every September. This is a perfect time to share the importance of adult education and training with your community.

Share how much impact achieving a high school credential can have. Write to your elected officials to say how much you appreciate their support and to ask that funding for adult education remains substantial. Shed light on how and where adult education and literacy programs serve in your communities such as corrections facilities, ELL programs, even online learners! Ask your local officials to sign a declaration honoring your own local programs. 

Reach learners in your area by sharing social media messages or inviting them to visit your physical or online locations. Consider adding new resources to offer your current and future learners. KET’s FastForward and Workplace Essentials Skills are effective, engaging, efficient online resources that learners can utilize on their own or in classroom settings.
