Abstract
This chapter summarizes the general state of knowledge regarding nontraditional adult learners, including the challenges and obstacles they face. Specific recommendations for providing support and increasing success in vulnerable students in general, and especially during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, are discussed at both the institution and the classroom levels. One of the strategies that can improve retention in nontraditional learners right now is the development of an inclusive, supportive classroom by faculty members. In order to adapt to a modern workforce, higher education must work with industries to adjust its approach to training and preparing today's graduates for current careers in technology, business, and healthcare.
