Before anything, I want the people in San Antonio to know that BiblioTech offers LinkedIn Learning, MasterClass, Mango Languages, and other apps for free. All you have to do is sign-up for a library card! You can even get industry certifications in project management! -Please don’t miss out on these opportunities.

I’m an Adult Learner, and I Want to Pursue Post-secondary Education. Where Do I Go?

If you’re looking for professional development, you’re lucky! San Antonio’s Mayor, Ron Nirenberg, recently launched the Ready to Work initiative.

In addition, the San Antonio Education Partnership offers free post-secondary advising services for all adult learners in the Bexar County area. Access advisors help students navigate any career, college, or industry certification from an adult learner perspective.
