enrolling in classes increases, many colleges and universities are responding to the needs of these workers by offering training in more flexible formats designed to work around busy schedules.
- More and more employers
are making higher education accessible to their workers, often footing the bill for this training.
- Older students get better grades
and complete training programs more often than younger students.
