Increasing costs of community based services
Diversity in education

3. Funding Options
State and Federal governments are the primary source for funding
Over the next 15 years, the government will need to consider revisiting the provisions made to these programs on a regular basis to ensure that funding is available to the states as set forth by the law under the Affordable Care Act.
Additional contributions will come from private lenders who see the importance of continued education.

5. The Future of Services
Knowledge Translation will become an important part of community based services as organizations and service providers become involved in delivering health and health-related services to people within the community.
Knowledge Translation will become the connection between healthcare researchers, decision makers, service providers, and the people they serve so that the real needs of the community are met. (Kothari & Armstrong, 2011)

6. The Future of adult education
The population of adult learners will continue to grow.
Social media will become a stronger influence as a teaching and learning tool.
Educators will rely on social media to interact with their students.
Adult learners will become more self-directed learners relying less on knowledge received from instructors. (Bailey, Ed.D., 2012)

7. Diversity
Economic demands for higher education will lead to a greater demand for academic credential and training.
US Census data predicts
by 2050, there will be no
ethic group that is a majority
