Survey: Adult learners fear new wave of workplace tech - Jarrett Carter, Education Dive

Pearson has released a survey showing the growing fear among adult learners who plan on or are currently enrolled in degree or credentialing programs about new trends in technology and labor. 72% of survey respondents say education will help them to keep pace with changes in their industry, with more than 65% of workers say technology will make their jobs dramatically different within 5 years. There is diminishing concern about outsourcing and being replaced by younger employees, but the new industrial changes are leading more than 60% of employees to enroll in online courses, while just 27% take classes in traditional settings. http://www.educationdive.com/news/survey-adult-learners-fear-new-wave-of-workplace-tech/428717/
