\"BABY<\/a>Overall, lifelong learning programs in North America are doing well in serving their communities. You are adjusting to the new economy and the millennial generation\u2019s different needs. Overall, you are stable financially even given the tight institutional budget times.
\nYou Pioneer Integrated Marketing.
\n<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 The most successful lifelong learning programs have been gaining in knowledge of successful integrated marketing approaches, and are in their second year of discovering what works for lifelong learning programs.\u00a0 LERN\u2019s work in gathering and reporting on those successes will be a major new source of \u201cInformation That Works<\/em>\u201d \u2122 \u00a0for the field in the coming year.
\nOperations Booming.<\/strong>
\nThe area of operations in lifelong learning programming is now booming. Programs are centralizing more functions in operations.\u00a0 This is creating greater efficiencies, allowing programmers and marketing staff to focus on income generation.
\nOnly Half of You Know What You\u2019re Doing.
\n<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Perhaps the biggest weakness right now in the field is that only half of lifelong learning program professionals have the knowledge to do their job.\u00a0 This figure comes from LERN staff visiting programs all over Canada and the United States every week.

\nAll Need More Institutional and\/or Central Administrative support.
\n<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Almost every lifelong learning program deserves and needs more institutional or central administrative support.\u00a0 Financial support is less important than leaders\u2019 support for your mission and your critical role in your institution.
\nEvery lifelong learning program requires an internal marketing plan to regularly (we suggest monthly) inform central administrators of your success, needs, and positive contributions.
\nLifelong learning programs benefit their institutions in ways that even you do not fully understand.\u00a0 With public support for most institutions at an all-time low, your advocacy for your program can make a big difference in gaining support for your program moving forward.
