New Brunswick is currently experiencing an increase in unemployment as well as the loss of traditional employment bases. Concurrently, there are greater numbers of adults who are finding themselves with no clear employment direction. One of the places they are ending up is informal and non-formal adult education programs. Our belief is that the purpose of adult education in the province of New Brunswick has undergone a shift, moving away from an ethic of adult education for personal, social, and political change towards a neo-liberal skills agenda.  \nKey words: knowledge economy, role of government, globalized labour market, change  \nAmanda Benjamin is an Associate Professor of Adult Education in the Faculty of Education at the University of New Brunswick.

We have moved away from an ethos of personal and social development towards a focus more interested in skill development and knowledge acquisition. This shift in focus mirrors a general political shift towards neoliberalism. This article reports on the findings of research undertaken to consider the extent to which such a shift has impacted adult education programs in the province of New Brunswick. The article provides a general overview of adult education in the context of neo-liberal politics and the knowledge economy. We then present our findings of this research, an analysis of those findings, and conclude with a discussion of the implications of those findings.  \nEducation is commonly viewed as a panacea for social and economic problems. This is particularly so in an era of globalization and the knowledge economy. In such an environment, governments, international organizations, and industry place heavy emphasis on the importance of education and training for economic development. The focus on training is particularly strong in the context of the ‘new’ or ‘knowledge’ economy. Theorists, too, emphasize the need for a well-trained population with regard to economic development. According to the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) (as cited in Rubenson & Beddie, 2004),“education is becoming less distinct from the economy”(p. 154) .  \nThe ability to participate and compete in the global market forms the foundation of many domestic policy decisions, particularly those related to education, economic development, and the labour market.
