In today's workplace, education and career are mixed together. An ongoing career demands ongoing learning.

Until the closing years of the 1900s, the most widely accepted definition for lifelong learning would bring to mind informal pottery making and cake decorating classes at the local recreation center or YMCA.  Today, however, lifelong learning has a much broader and far more  serious meaning. Lifelong learning is now a critical components in a strong career, financial security, and more satisfying lifestyle.
