Lifelong learning is the notion taken from Maslow’s Hierarchy of Human Need,  to continually be learning to reach new transpersonal and peak performance for quality of life. Conscious learning and learning opportunities occur throughout our lives; elementary and secondary education to undergraduate and graduate education, lasting through the end of one’s career and one's life. Mostly though, we learn from each other. By participating in continuing education, you become active in courting information collectively which enables you to make a greater impact in your life path. Upskilling allows you to build upon your skill set with new and modern approaches. Collective learning experiences with a diverse population will provide new insights, advance your skillset, to unlock your fullest potential. 

 The purpose of continuing education and upskilling is to update and reinforce knowledge, learning together provides insight and new perspective.  Additionally, Music Therpaists and Art Therapists must attain CMTE and CEU credits for the licensure and credentialing.  Often employers will register their staff in courses as a way to keep staff up to date, for professional growth and to improve quality of services.

People thrive when they are given opportunities to learn new ideas and concepts as well in engage in communal learning. We have much to learn from each other and from unique learning styles and paths. When we look outside how we might approach a task or lesson and make note of how others tackle it, we have an opportunity to leverage this knowledge to reach our goals in a more individualistic manner and support a more inclusive society.
