This report will support Shaping Futures in this aim by considering data that has previously been used, data that is less commonly used, and to compare the Liverpool City Region’s data in a wider context.

Adult Learner Report

This report is an investigation into the outreach needs of learners studying in colleges in the Liverpool City Region. Published research on adult learners often discusses particularly local issues they are facing – with increased responsibility than the typical young learner, adults are more likely to face challenges with transport, finding time to study, and balancing finance as well as education.

This research aims to understand whether the issues faced by adults in the Liverpool City Region are the same as those reported in the research, and therefore whether outreach needs to be tailored to the specific needs in the region.
