A recent study by the ACT Foundation uncovered a rise in the number of working learners: “Individuals who work for pay and learn toward a credentialing at the same time.” This education can take the form of formal training or personal skill development.
Individuals pursuing education while working may do so to:
gain financial support for living and school expenses
learn or maintain new skills and experience
build or maintain professional networks
reinforce classroom training.
Many people are active working learners the ACT foundation found. Nearly 50 percent of high school students work outside school for pay. At the undergraduate level, that increases to 85 percent for those who are enrolled full time, and about a third of those aged 30 and older are working learners.
