Nearly half of all adults participate in some form of adult education every year in an effort to keep up with changes in their fields and technological advances that may affect their lives in various ways. This thirst for knowledge creates many career opportunities for adult education teachers who can lead courses for career advancement, skills upgrading, and personal enrichment. The demand for qualified instructors is expected to increase as more adults seek additional training and education. Employment in adult education is expected to grow faster than the average of other fields over the next ten years.
