WHY BE A LIFELONG LEARNER?
Lifelong learning is the “ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated” pursuit of knowledge for either personal or
professional reasons. Therefore, it not only enhances social inclusion, active citizenship, and personal development, but
also self-sustainability, as well as competitiveness and employability.
Plenty of respected leaders ranging from Michelangelo to Gandhi to Eleanor Roosevelt not to mention countless devoted
classroom teachers—have spoken about the importance of fostering a love of learning and of the ongoing growth of
individuals.
Reasons to take a class with us
New Skills (Functionality). At home and at work, in order to function effectively day-to-day amidst a
rapidly changing world, we need to learn new things period.
Purpose and Path. One term that has been used over the past couple decades when addressing purpose
and path is “college and career readiness.”
Passions and Life Satisfaction. Pursuing passions and interests outside of work (where you might have
already done a lot of learning, or feel saturated) is important.
Employability. Today, the average person changes jobs 10 to 15 times during their career. Some cite even
higher numbers.
Economic Imperative. Closely related to employability, learning is becoming an economic imperative.
Leadership. Strong leaders need to learn new skills and how to relate to the changing generations in the
multi-generational workforce.
Transferability. We all need to become lifelong learners in ways that extend beyond any one particular
class and/or point of time.
Social Awareness and Perspective. In order to truly empathize with others, increase social awareness and
build relationships, we must intentionally seek out ideas that differ from our own.
Practicality. We live in an era where you can fix pretty much anything in your home by watching a
YouTube video. This has created a DIY culture that allows people interested in everything from home
improvements to crafting to cooking to learn practical skills.
Longevity. An active mind throughout your life has been proven to help you live longer and healthier.
