The article focuses on the new careers in adult education. To meet the rapidly growing need for qualified personnel to administer adult education programs the Institute of Adult Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, has developed training programs for such careers as adult education consultants in the United Nations and UNESCO; managers or administrators of training in industry, civil government and armed forces; directors and field representatives of university extension services; and directors and teachers of adult education in schools and community colleges. Candidates must meet requirements for admission to graduate study at Teachers College. The Institute also carries on surveys, research and short-term conferences and workshops for those leaders who are more interested in study of specialized problems than in long-term professional study leading toward a degree.
