One week to go until week of action for #AdultLearningPays.

From 19-23 October, employers, colleges, learners, parliamentarians, local leaders and partners will come together to champion the vital role adult learning plays in helping people develop skills, access new opportunities and progress in work.

Adult learning supports stronger communities, a skilled workforce and economic growth - and we all have a role to play in making the case for its value.

I'm celebrating the impact adult learning has had on my life this week as part of the #AdultLearningPays campaign.

Through [COURSE/LEARNING JOURNEY], I've been able to [ACHIEVEMENT/IMPACT].

Everyone's learning journey is different, and adult learning can provide the skills, confidence and opportunities needed to take the next step, whatever that looks like.

Every adult deserves the chance to learn, retrain and thrive.

Adult learning helps people develop the skills they need to progress, while supporting employers, businesses and communities to thrive.

Strong partnerships between education providers, employers and other key sector organisations are essential to widening opportunity and driving growth.

That's why we're supporting the week of action for #AdultLearningPays and helping to raise awareness of the value of adult learning.

Together, we can champion the role adult education plays in creating opportunities, strengthening communities and supporting a skilled, adaptable workforce.
