Zayd Abukar from Educational Advisory Board will guide attendees through an exploration of who today’s adult learners are—their motivations, their constraints and how their pathways through higher education, especially at the graduate and professional levels, differ from those of traditional undergraduates.

He will begin by examining the evolving adult learner market, highlighting key trends in degree conferrals and competition shaping this space. From there, he will unpack the mindset and expectations of modern adult students—what drives their decisions, the challenges they face and how generational shifts from Millennials to Gen Z are redefining expectations around flexibility, affordability and authenticity in higher education.
