A new report compares how states perform on educating adults, and shows that significant numbers of Americans have been left behind. In 35 states, more than 60% of the adult population has not completed an associate degree or higher. 32 states cannot catch up to the best performing countries internationally by relying solely on traditional 18-to-24-year-old-students. In terms of financial aid, the report found that 14 states do not provide any need-based aid to part time students. This disproportionately affects adults, many of whom have other responsibilities that necessitate part-time college attendance. Another 17 states devote less than 10% of need-based aid funds to part-timers.

Save on the Cost of Tuition
90% of the cost of a tuition program is the tuition itself. Discounts from colleges can have a much larger impact on your budget than anything else. On average, CAEL helps its clients save 1.5% of the entire tuition cost of their programs through discounts. Colleges and universities in our Featured Provider Network offer tuition discounts to all CAEL Tuition Assistance Management clients. Some of our clients are covering as much as 51% of our service fees through tuition savings back to the company.
Setting up discount programs with colleges on your own can be time-consuming and costly. CAEL saves your company the trouble of securing multiple bilateral agreements. And, in most cases FPN discounts are more than any single company can achieve on its own.
The colleges and universities on CAEL’s Featured Provider Network are regionally accredited, quality institutions with an impressive array of online degree programs.

When you are working to improve the skills and competencies of your employees, partnering with a college may seem like a “no-brainer." But many employers find the process to be more complex than they anticipated. This presentation covered data from a recently completed study of partnering and outsourcing practices by Corporate University Xchange (CorpU) and real-world examples from CAEL’s 30+ years of experience with higher education partnerships. Pamela Tate, President and CEO of the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL), and Marcia Dresner, Senior Research Analyst from CorpU, talked about these partnerships and the challenges that need to be overcome to make them successful.
