Abstract | Who are the adult students in career and technical education (CTE) today? There is not one simple answer to that question. Some are young with little life experience, while others are returning to the workforce and learning new skills to reinvent themselves. Whatever the case, educating adult students is an integral part of ACTE's mission, and the Postsecondary, Adult and Career Education Division (PACE) spearheads that mission by providing leadership in developing a competitive adult workforce through postsecondary education and training. The division is composed of educators, teachers, counselors, administrators, placement officers, economic developers, adult basic education instructors, sex equity coordinators, and literacy instructors. The division focuses on: (1) serving transitional workers; (2) creating and developing community workforce pools; (3) providing comprehensive career services; (4) customizing training for business and industry; (5) developing entry-level skills for employment; (6) upgrading employee skills for future technologies; (7) providing skills-gap remediation; (8) developing employability skills; (9) providing the bridge for individuals to maintain economic viability and independence; and (10) inspiring an appreciation for lifelong learning.
