The New Normal: Adult Learner Career Pathways
Bryant-Lopez, Brittany
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Northern Arizona University
The New Normal is rooted in adult learning theory, which explains how adults learn and why they learn in these aspects. This foundation is then supported by two pillars: cultural capital and the career pathways model. According to Bourdieu, cultural capital is the non-fiscal aspect of a person's education, social status, and language. Career pathways are an educational design that helps learners advance through education to a career via a designated avenue designed with their success in mind. This research examined the strengths, challenges, and shared best practices of partnerships developed in career pathway programs created by a community-based organization. This research focused on the experiences of adult learners currently attending and those who have graduated from a career pathway program based at a community-based organization. With a focus on the learners, the researcher also interviewed the organization's staff supporting the career pathway program.
