Higher education is answering the needs of lower-skilled, lower-paid workers, working adults and retirees by offering online learning courses as well as night and weekend courses. Online learning programs give working adults and adults with increased demands and responsibilities an opportunity to excel and learn in a way that would not be possible otherwise. Programs are now also offering night and weekend courses for adults to attend after working hours. In spurring these changes to higher education, Americans are turning what has been a bleak and unfruitful few years for our economy into a satisfying, productive and engaging trend: the number of emerging adult online earners and increased programs and options for adults seeking more education to improve their career arcs.
