ADULT LEARNERS' WEEK 22 - 29 May 2005

Adult Learners’ Week is the UK’s largest festival and celebration of adult learning, co-ordinated by NIACE and core-funded by the DfES, ESF and learndirect.

Adult Learners’ Week is an opportunity for adults to have a go at something new by trying out one of the hundreds of free taster sessions that happen across England during the week, and an opportunity for education providers to show adults what is on offer.

Adults who wish to improve their skills by going on a Skills for Life course will find plenty of opportunties offered by their local colleges this week. It also the perfect time for learning providers to recruit new Skills for Life learners.
