What is AEN?
The Adult Education Network (AEN) is a community of Training and Adult Education (TAE) professionals coming together to connect to opportunities, collaborate and learn for continuing professional development and skills acquisition. AEN aims to nurture TAE professionals to become enablers to facilitate the implementation of national initiatives such as the iN.LEARN2020, Industry Transformation Maps and etc., under the SkillsFuture movement.
Who is AEN for?
The AEN is open to all professionals coming from the following three main TAE roles:
Adult Education (AE) Professionals | Training Management (TM) Specialists | Human Capital Development (HCD) Professionals |
|---|---|---|
| Individuals whose work relates to the direct activities of development and training for the continuing education and training of the workforce. | Individuals engaged in the management of a training institution as its core business function | In-company Learning & Development staff who are involved in building employee capabilities to support business needs. |
Why join the AEN?
To remain competitive in the dynamic TAE landscape, we acknowledge the need for individuals to be connected to the larger TAE community for collaborative support and capability development. Established since 2008, the AEN has been catering to the needs of its current network of over 6,000 members, through a host of membership benefits that address the differing needs of its members in three typical career phases - from the aspiring, the establishing, to the established.
