Career Assessment: Is Adult Education Really My Calling?

Not everyone is cut out to be a teacher or has had the opportunity to complete a degree in education. But many people discover over the course of their professional careers that they enjoy passing on their subject knowledge, skills, and perhaps even their experiences to others. There are many ways to pursue this passion. For example: becoming a trainer and working part-time or full-time in continuing education, further training, or other areas of adult education. The range of topics and career opportunities in continuing education, further training, and other areas of adult education is vast, and the roles of trainers are just as diverse. However, some basic requirements are the same for everyone. For example, you should enjoy being “up front” and presenting, or explaining things in a way that others can understand.
