The Profile of a Lifelong Learner is a research-based “north star” that helps adult educators, workforce development specialists, and employers define, measure, and advance the digital and lifelong learning skills that adult learners need to be successful in the workforce of today and tomorrow.
The Profile of a Lifelong Learner was developed with support from experts in adult basic education, workforce development, community colleges, employer partnerships, K-12 schools, career & technical education, and edtech. The Profile can be used to help develop curriculum and services to support working learners.
To provide a quick sense of the what the course covers, SkillRise is developing interactive micro-learning experiences that provide a brief introduction to edtech planning and implementation for adult educators and workforce development specialists. Check back soon to try one out!
The Profile is built upon three research-based pillars - an analysis of peer-reviewed literature exploring the relationship between skills and workforce outcomes, a landscape scan of adult skills frameworks, and the ISTE Standards for Students.
