Adult and Tertiary Teaching

In a corporate environment, someone with training in adult education will be able to educate fellow staff in a range of skills. These vary from induction and technical processes to personal development like leadership, administration, and business practices.

An Adult Educator understands learning techniques and can create and maintain a positive learning environment in the business – one that takes into account variation in people’s backgrounds and learning styles.

In identifying skills gaps, and delivering learning programmes to suit, Adult Educators are pros at staff development. As a result, the business will soon improve its services, as employees increase their skill set.
