Lifelong Learning.

This article focuses on adult lifelong learning and how it applies in the workforce, after retirement and for older adults, and for personal enrichment purposes. Lifelong learning is a broad term which covers anything that deals with education from early childhood through adulthood and can refer to permanent learning, recurring learning, continuing education and adult education. Also, as increased global competition and economic restructuring have become more prevalent, the need for training and retraining for the workforce has grown. Many government and work-related programs have contributed to the education of adults for economic success.
