“For too many people, learning ends when they finish their formal schooling,” said Rick Wartzman, head of the Drucker Institute’s KH Moon Center for a Functioning Society. “Increasingly, however, economic opportunity—as well as dignity—hinges upon lifelong learning. The incredible breadth and depth of content that’s offered by Study.com will help ensure that South Bend residents have access to the kinds of learning opportunities that they’ll need to thrive in the face of a fast-changing economy and, now, COVID-19.”
