Adults require on-going learning opportunities on a
flexible basis to acquire a level of literacy sufficient
to meet their needs as parents, employees, and citizens.
For those who have not succeeded in school or whose
education has been interrupted, a system of adult basic
education and literacy is necessary to allow adults to
gain the skills they need to support their families and
be fully productive members of their communities. Some
adults are able to attend a full-time program of adult
basic education. These adults may require more than a
year of classroom study to become employment ready or to
meet the entrance requirements for post-secondary
programs. Other adults may require access to part-time
programs to upgrade specific skills which they can
balance with their family and work responsibilities.
Connecting with employment and personal fulfillment is
the outcome. Opportunities for adults of all ages make
it possible for everyone to stay current, thus
benefiting fully from all that the NWT society has to
offer.
