Ensuring Basic Education Access For Adults




The Conversation Podcast show

Summary: In Washington state, 1 in 6 adults doesn't have the basic reading, writing, or math skills required to get a job, but only about 5 percent of those adults have access to education that would enable them to earn a living wage. These adults will make up almost all of the growth in Washington's workforce over the next 20 years. Today Ross talks to advocates who are working to ensure that Washington's adult learners get a chance to succeed on the job, at home and in the community.
