Understanding the Adult Learner Experience
Adult learners, those aged 25 and over, now constitute nearly a third of the post-secondary landscape. Projections indicate a shrinking pool of traditional-aged students over the next decade, resulting in continued enrollment growth in the adult demographic. Given this outlook, we need to address and a critical gap in our understanding of the adult learner experience.
Our Approach
Listening First
We begin with the student voice. Through in-depth interviews, focus groups, and surveys, we're collecting qualitative data directly from adult learners to understand:
How they navigate academic challenges
What support systems prove most valuable
When and how they prefer to connect with peers
What barriers prevent meaningful engagement
Our Goals
Launch pilot programs at partner community colleges
Conduct qualitative research study with diverse adult student populations
Develop and refine our mobile application based on direct student feedback
Document and share best practices for implementation
Let’s Collaborate
Whether you're an educational institution looking to better support your adult learners, a researcher interested in our findings, or a potential partner who shares our mission—we invite you to connect with us as we work to transform the educational experience for adult students everywhere.
