More and more adults are hitting the books in this economy to switch careers or to gain vertical leverage at their existing jobs. But in these summer months, kickin’ around some knowledge can simply be about personal enrichment. Programs, classes and workshops can expand upon your interests while simultaneously sparking new hobbies and friendships.
There’s a wide selections of offerings from various institutions around the valley, from the University of Utah’s Lifelong Learning courses—which can run upward of $100 and last for several weeks—to one-off foodie-school events at Tony Caputo’s Market & Deli. More vocation-oriented classes can be found at Salt Lake Community College, while informal, dirt-cheap—and literally in the dirt—workshops from Wasatch Community Gardens can encourage would-be green thumbs to garden.
