Enhancing Transitions for Adults to Further Education, Employment and Training

Enhancing Transitions was a project administered by Adult Learning and Literacy in partnership with Workplace Education Manitoba to develop and test a collection of transition related tools and resources. The materials, structures, tools and lessons were based on research conducted in four case study communities by a project team. The goals of the project were to enhance adult learners’ transitions:

  • from adult programming to meaningful, long-term employment
  • to further education and training to support their lifelong career and personal goals.
