79,000 educators in 2,000+ local programs work with 1.5million #adultlearners nationwide providing #numeracy, #literacy, #digitalliteracy, #workforcereadiness, and high school diplomas! #fundus #COABEontheHill2024 #AdultEdLiteracyWeek #AEFL2024
73% of learners entering our federally funded #adulteducation programs with the goal of getting their diploma received their diplomas and met their goals! #ROI #COABEontheHill2024 #AdultEdLiteracyWeek #AEFL2024
In five years, nearly 80 percent of all job openings will require more than a high school degree. Adult education provides a significant opportunity to bridge the workforce supply-and-demand gap. #COABEontheHill2024 #AdultEdLiteracyWeek #AEFL2024
Adult ed #HSE graduates typically earn close to $10,000 more per year once they get their diplomas! #ROI #equity #COABEontheHill2024 #AdultEdLiteracyWeek #AEFL2024
For every 400,000 adults who earn a high school diploma, the economy gains $2.5 billion back in tax revenue and reduced expenses. That’s $6,250 per person! The estimated value to our economy in reduced costs for public support programs for low skilled, low literate adults is $200 billion annually. #economiccatalyst #ROI #COABEontheHill2024 #AdultEdLiteracyWeek #AEFL2024
Low-skilled adults are 2x more likely to be unemployed; 3x more likely to be in poverty; 4x more likely to be in poor health; and 8x more likely to be incarcerated. Educating adults helps families break out of intergenerational poverty and creates stronger communities. #ROI #COABEontheHill2024 #AdultEdLiteracyWeek #AEFL2024
