Step 3: Adult-Centered Implementation
Student Support - Provide Advising and Other Academic Support
Many adults know that they want additional training and education, but very few have carefully thought through their education and career goals, the steps they need to take to reach those goals, and the challenges they may face in reaching those goals. Individual advising is an important service to provide adults to help them clarify their goals (or set realistic ones) and map out the steps they will need to take to get there. The advising process often interfaces with assessments, as the results from an assessment battery will help to inform the planning process (Flint & Associates, 1999).
Other academic services such as tutoring, peer groups, mentors, and job placement can also be helpful to ensure learner persistence and success (Wonacott, 2001).
