The Welsh Government gives good priority to older learners and works with 16 adult
community learning (ACL) partnerships across Wales1 to provide lifelong learning for
older learners in the community. These partnerships are at their most effective when
supporting learners between 50 and 65 years old who are not in employment or are
in groups that do not access learning outside their communities. Many of these older
people have developed their literacy, numeracy and information and communication
technology (ICT) skills through community learning opportunities and this has
improved their employability.
