Providing for Adults. A College Initiative.
Wallace, John
This document reports an evaluation of an open access program for unemployed adults at England's Hinckley College of Further Education. The program aimed to help clients identify long-term and short-term goals and emphasized participative management, student-centered learning, guidance, and counseling. The findings emphasize (1) the importance of learning opportunities for adults, which range across the vocational-nonvocational spectrum; (2) the need for change in college recruitment procedures, time-tabling, support systems, and fee structures; (3) adaptations needed in classroom practice to accommodate unemployed adult students; and (4) the need for clear definitions of objectives in order to enable the long-term unemployed to achieve increased benefits from educational delivery.
