Adult Education provides services to assist adults to obtain the skills necessary for employment and economic self-sufficiency. AEFLA funded programs target adults who:

• lack sufficient mastery of basic educational skills to enable them to function effectively on the job, in the family and in society; or
• do not have a secondary school diploma or its equivalent level of education; or
• are unable to speak, read, or write the English language.
