Lifelong Learning. The Institute retains a distinct department devoted to lifelong learning. This provides academic programmes within different structures different delivery mechanisms to accommodate the mature learner. The department also delivers programmes in the wider region. Funding has become a significant factor and a challenge for prospective students who wish to engage with Lifelong Learning. The mission of the department is stated as: In partnership with the Institute community, the department will promote the development of the Institute as an outstanding learning organization through leadership, innovation, and service in making information accessible and facilitating learning in all its forms to the adult learner. The funding challenge has led to a decline in student numbers in recent years, and the trend apparent in the chart below (which refers to Lifelong Learning only) has continued into the current year. There has been a shift in recent years away from some provision for hobby courses towards a concentration on academic programmes. The challenge of embedding concepts of widening access and lifelong learning in institutional strategies is scheduled to be included in the current strategic review. Toward this end, AIT is currently committed to review and further develop our policies and systems to ensure that all participating students have equal access to the highest quality of teaching and learning, services, and pastoral supports.2 Caring for individual students AIT has a strong reputation for caring for the individual student and places considerable emphasis on continued efforts to enhance the student experience. This includes: supporting the pastoral care needs of students offering further study and careers advice and support providing medical and counselling care (through the Student Health Centre) supporting students accessing education from across a diverse spectrum providing a range of learning resources for AIT registered students (through the Student Resource Centre).

Lifelong Learning. Strengthening lifelong learning is a task for society as a whole. To this end we want to forge a continuing educational alliance in co-operation with social partners, federal states, the Federal Employment Agency and training and development associations. Small and medium-sized companies in particular must be enabled to expand continuing education for their employees. In addition, we will improve access to education and qualification advice and increase transparency. Study time accounts established in collective agreements are of particular importance. The social partners must fulfil their particular responsibility. We will use the opportunity of developing a German qualification framework to strengthen equality, mobility and transferability in German and European education systems. In the European process we will pay special attention to ensuring the German education system preserves its own profile and emphasise the strengths of the German system within the EU. We will co-operate with strong partners from the federal government, federal states, business and science, churches, charities and foundations as well as senior citizens’ organisations to create new educational opportunities and incentives for older people. We want to work together with older people in co-operation with internet service providers, the media and associations to improve media literacy and reduce risks.
