The mission of the Workforce, Adult and Continuing Education Commission is to represent the interests of those involved in workforce and adult education at community and state colleges. 

WHAT WE DO

The objective of the Workforce, Adult and Continuing Education Commission includes providing participation in all areas related to workforce and adult education programs and practices.  We are a resource network to help faculty, administrators, and support staff to stay abreast of workforce and adult related issues as well as best practices.

Welcome 

Thank you for visiting the Workforce, Adult, and Continuing Education (WACE) Commission webpage!

I am Ryan Buckthorpe, the newly chosen WACE Commission Chair. At Hillsborough Community College, where I work for the Institute for Corporate & Continuing Education, our mission is to empower our community with opportunities to achieve their aspirations and maximize their impact through diverse and targeted professional development services. My goal for our WACE commission over the next two years is to do the same for our members and our workforce education colleagues.  The WACE Commission will work to provide you with valuable professional development opportunities and share best practices benefiting our Workforce, Adult, and Continuing Education colleagues.

If you would like to learn more or to share in our mission and efforts, please click HERE to follow and contribute to our newly created WACE Facebook page. 

Thank you!
