60% of Literacy DuPage's adult learners have some post-secondary education.
However, many non-English speakers who immigrate to the United States are unable to find careers in their fields, due to their lack of English. Thus, opportunities to find higher paying careers in fields such as engineering, medicine, or business are more limited, despite the years of professional experience many learners possess.
Tutors with Literacy DuPage not only work with their adult learner to develop and strengthen their English, but also help them work toward their professional goals.
