I had a zoom call with a heavy duty mechanic named Hernan about the trends we've observed in each of our respective fields as well as in adult education as a whole.
He mentioned that automation with computerized and hybrid systems has created a dependency in operators. Starting in the motor industry, it's moved into heavy duty mechanics.
I mentioned the growing popularity of circus arts that have resulted in increased accessibility for the general public to learn.
We independently concluded that one of the biggest trends in adult education is the fact that entire curriculums are online now. This makes it so much more possible for adult learners to specialize because we're no longer limited to programs within commuting distance from our homes.
It's clear that the world is changing and technology has a significant role!
