Adult Education
The mission of the Adult Education program in Tennessee is to provide adult education and literacy services in order to:
- assist adults to become literate and obtain the knowledge and skills necessary for employment and self-sufficiency;
- assist adults who are parents to obtain the educational skills necessary to become full partners in the educational development of their children; and
- assist adults in the completion of a secondary school education.
These purposes are consistent with Goal 3 of Tennessee's Workforce Development system:
Knowledge/Skills Attainment: Empower individuals through education and lifelong learning to acquire skills and knowledge to succeed in the dynamic and changing Tennessee workforce.
