12 years of data from more than 350,000 adult learners have shown something many educators have long suspected but rarely had the evidence to prove:

Adult learners often make meaningful skill gains over several years - not months - and those gains increase with sustained participation and instructional hours.

This research challenges systems that focus primarily on short-term outcomes, highlighting the importance of viewing adult learning as a lifelong journey.

Whether we call them soft skills, power skills, or durability skills, one fact is clear: employers need them. Communication, teamwork, adaptability, and problem-solving are essential across industries - yet the skills required in banking differ from those needed on a construction site.

Our March Best of Texas spotlight explored how Adult Literacy programs in Texas can partner with employers to define, teach, and validate durability skills that are both industry-specific and learner-centered - and the video is now available on YouTube.

We capped off another season of literacy symposia with a fabulous event in Houston - we persisted despite very heavy weather! We're full of gratitude to the Texas Workforce Commission, our major funder, as well as host HCC Southeast, TCALL, and a multitude of trainers, presenters, and others who made the day amazing.

A special shout-out to the Dollar General Literacy Foundation for the yellow glasses! 💛
