Supporting Adult Learner Transitions: Unlocking Postsecondary Opportunities

Successful postsecondary transitions can change the life trajectories of adult learners and their families. According to the statewide data, only 6.5% of adults 25-40 are currently enrolled in higher education while over 25% intend to enroll. Providing effective support for adult learners’ transition to postsecondary education has become one of the critical missions for adult education. This research forum webinar will feature four California Adult Education Consortia that are implementing innovative, learner‑centered approaches to improve transitions into postsecondary programs. Panelists will share practical insights, lessons learned, and replicable models that other regions can adapt.

Featured Implementation Examples:

Education to Career Network of North San Diego County: Sustainable Structures and Collaborative Culture
Inland Adult Education Consortium: Successful Transition Counseling
North Santa Clara County Consortium for Adult Education: Dual Enrollment for All CAEP Students
State Center Adult Education Consortium: Student Ambassador Model.
