Elaborate on this topic on what you feel the future holds for Teaching and Training Adults. Will assessments be helpful? Brown (2020) recognized that adult education and training have always been an essential part of the educational system in America. Why? Because as we age, education and training opportunities allow the learners to tap into new knowledge and expansive potential for improvement. As the American population in America changes, the future of teaching & training adult learners will continue to thrive. Adult learning opportunities promote good health and happiness for older Americans. Adult education and training classes make the social connection, and our learners, their interpersonal skills, and self-confidence improve. Many adult learners are lifelong learners, so having a place to continue expanding their knowledge will be essential for their continued growth and development. Adult learning provides adult learners options for a better life and employment opportunities. The University of Lethbridge (2021) stated that adult education and training programs tap into the learner’s new passions and allow for the sharing of lived experiences throughout the program. I assert that the many assessments used by colleges and university for “entrance” will soon vanish; however, if they continue to be used for understanding, placement, and improvement opportunities for the learner, they will thrive.
