Adult Education
Amanda Stevens
More adults are returning to school now than in previous years. As non-traditional students with outside responsibilities, the step towards education can be very frightening and confusing. And once adults have enrolled, they can find themselves overwhelmed by the balancing acts that their new lives hold. The Adult Education Community at Suite101 will provide tools that can help make the transition easier as well as offering support to adult students currently enrolled. Financial aid, career planning, alternative methods of education, and important success strategies will be covered here to help adult students start their adventures and continue their adventures with confidence, knowledge, and support.
