Abstract: The Lifelong Learning Demonstration provided randomly selected adult workers in the Greater Baltimore area with comprehensive information about post-secondary education and training opportunities and streamlined referrals of interested workers to participating educational institutions. The results of this data collection will be used by both DOL and ED to evaluate the demonstration, to inform future public information campaigns on lifelong learning, and provide useful information for other ETA and ED programs affecting the education and training of adults in the U.S. work force.
