Abstract

Adult learning has become a dominant emerging trend of contemporary education systems across the globe. Indeed, the pandemic, globalization, deskilling, and increasing migration trends have re-focused academic and applied scholarship on adult learning strategies. But till date adult learning lacks a comprehensive holistic learning theory that focuses solely on fulfilling the dynamic needs and expectations of adult learners. Written from a first-person perspective, this chapter offers a behind-the scenes look of designing an adult entrepreneurial competency learning strategy that encompasses traditional learning principles and unique adult learning characteristics and needs. The chapter details existing learning theories followed by the author's account of how she developed and designed an integrative adult learning strategy.
