Wanted: Adult Learners Seeking High School Equivalencies
There are 454,327 adults in Indiana without a High School Diploma and 111,000 young adults NOT attending High School!
Why?
We probably have many answers that could apply, but I’m going to discuss just one!
They can’t find the services they need!
How can we fix this? The two solutions that come to my mind:
- Recruit
- Market

Is this everything? No!
We collaborate with Neil Richmund to continue building our resources to market and recruit adult learners across our great state of Indiana! Join us on Thursday, April 1, at 1:30 EDT/12:30 CDT on Zoom for April’s Tech Talk Thursday. We will discuss recruiting and marketing for adult education. We will welcome all questions and if you’d like to give some questions early, join Jenn on her Zoom office hour at 10:30 am EDT/9:30 am CDT on Thursday, April 1.
We want to help your program find those 454,327 potential adult learners. We want to help those adults seeking adult education opportunities find your program.
Please comment with your ideas and questions.
