Learning that lasts a lifetime helps people to continually improve themselves
for work, recreation and other personal or social pursuits that contribute to
strong communities.
With approximately two-thirds of Illinois jobs
reportedly requiring at least some post-secondary
schooling or special training, formal education
is a key predictor for an individual’s income
potential. College graduates, for example, earn
65% more on average than high school graduates,
according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Education in all its forms is important to individual
well-being, personal growth and mental health.
Education can take place in a variety of formats
and locations that cater to the unique needs of
Chicago’s population, especially seniors and
others with physical or technological challenges
that limit access to continuing education
opportunities.
Lifelong learning enables Chicagoans to set
and reach goals for themselves and their
families, which strengthens the vitality of
entire neighborhoods. Through formal and
informal learning, Chicagoans can unlock talents
and skills, learn from collective history and
prepare future generations to be change-makers
for a more resilient and equitable world.
The Lifelong Learning pillar’s goals seek to
strengthen residents’ pathways into the workforce
and enhance educational collaborations that
benefit all age groups.
