Adult education is a critical component of both the education and workforce systems, providing essential skills and training that lead to higher employment rates, increased earning potential, and improved quality of life for individuals and their families. NH Adult Education programs open up opportunity for non-traditional students, including those who are re-entering the workforce, seeking new career paths, striving to complete their high school education, or acquiring essential English language and digital literacy skills. These individuals can play a vital role in strengthening our economy and communities.
Research has shown that adult education has the potential to impact everything from healthcare costs and children’s learning, to civic engagement, community safety, and national security.
