Never stop learning
Adult Learners’ Week is an annual campaign that inspires adults to take a step back into learning to improve their confidence and wellbeing, switch careers and progress in work, discover new hobbies and connect with other people or to seek advice and guidance on the existing pathways available to them.
This is achieved by collaborating with our campaign partners across the sector on the promotion of online, live, and in-person events, courses, taster sessions, open days, resources and careers advice and guidance.
Coordinated activity is signposted through our Adult Learners’ Week website and the Working Wales website throughout September with a focus on special events taking place during the campaign week.
