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.LEARN2025, Industry Transformation Maps, Critical Core Skills under the SkillsFuture movement and to be the Centre of Excellence for Adult Training and Education.

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.
