Baby Boomers Are Learning For Life: As The Oldest Baby Boomers Hit 60, They're Changing Our Image Of Age
With these workshops and courses, CPCC joins a growing number of U.S. colleges reaching out to boomers as they hit midlife and approach retirement.
Typically, education programs for older adults have targeted people 65 and older and focused on enrichment and practical courses -- history lectures, painting classes, instruction for novice computer users.
But some programs, including CPCC's, have begun taking a different path. The Lifetime Learning Institute targets adults 45 to 60, not retired seniors. Many workshops encourage introspection and help participants steer careers and lives in new directions.
