 Goal 4 of the Sustainable Development Goals – Quality Education – What are the benefits of working adults taking part in continuing education programs? Education doesn't have to stop with the classroom because learning is a lifelong journey. Advancements in technology have made information accessible anywhere and anytime. People go to school and get an education so that they can get sustain themselves financially, but the learning process shouldn't end there. An example of this is a photographer who went to school and learned how to shoot only on film. In today's world, his knowledge would only get him so far until he is surpassed by those using digital cameras. As the world continues to move forward, you don't have to be left behind. Continuing your education as an adult can provide many benefits to your career. Job security is one benefit. Understanding new skills related to your career field will help you maintain employment. Continuing your education can help with emerging positions at a new or old job. By learning skills needed to succeed in your desired position, you will prove that you are ready for the new responsibilities. The job market is constantly changing and unfortunate events such as company layoffs are always possible. Being talented in different disciplines will allow you to broaden your horizons when looking for employment if your current job is unsatisfactory or if you simply need a change of pace. Continuing to learn will add to your skillset and turn you into a valuable asset for any company.
