More than 18,000 local residents have visited Bendable since it launched two years ago. But the number sinks when it comes to those who go on to complete a course. That’s why the Bendable team is forming a Depth of Learning Committee with our closest partners, including Goodwill and United Way. Our aim is to determine how to better support users so they persist in their learning. “The ultimate goal,” said Fred Teague, Bendable’s lifelong learning manager, “is to put people in a position for better-paying jobs and other real improvements in their life.”
