Resilience takes many forms. This month, we explore the confidence needed to re-enter the job market. Cecilia Forsythe of Adult Learning Wales shares how resilience and confidence-building are shaping employability courses. We’re also featuring Margherita Pina of the University of Macerata in our “Young Voices” series, reflecting on integrating AI and digital tools into adult education. We hope you find these articles an interesting read. Katriina Palo-Närhinen
