Working Learners

54% of students who drop out of post secondary school leave because they need to work to support themselves.*

Nontraditional students – the new majority

Every day, working learners have to find a balance between their careers, friends, family and education. That’s why the traditional route for earning a degree doesn’t meet the needs of many of them. After all, it’s not easy trying to make it to class when you’re already double booked with work meetings and helping your child with their homework.

Here, we help you stay updated on the latest news, studies and events that make education more accessible to working adults. To make sure you don’t miss any of the newest working learner articles, subscribe to our RSS feed.
