As graduation at your local program approaches, we hope that you will keep in mind COABE’s groundbreaking longitudinal study that examines the return on investment of participating in adult education programs. Program partners receive visibility and access to funding. Programs can engage as partners and share our informational material about the study with their graduates and encourage them to participate in the study.

We hope that you will partner with us to help our study capture results from as many former learners as possible.

Local Programs Alumni (former adult learners)

Sign up your local program to participate in the Alumni Study and be entered into a raffle for $500. Winners will be drawn and announced throughout the year.
