Workforce development programs and job satisfaction were topics that were well-studied in traditional groups of workers and it was known that these programs had a positive effect on the contributions and outcomes of today's organizations. The research problem addressed the lack of focus on non-traditional groups of workers and the associated lower levels of job satisfaction experienced by this group despite the availability of these programs. Non-traditional workers and lower income job seekers experienced less successful employment outcomes and experiences and workers with barriers and disabilities already had a 49% lower odd of reporting higher job satisfaction than workers with little to no barriers or disabilities. The theoretical framework was the emphasis that work-related learning should be the primary method used to influence and change the behaviors of non-traditional workers and was the foundation of the research problem. Social learning and Herzberg's Two-Factor theory were presented to support the research process and outcomes of the non-traditional workers that participated in the study. This study was conducted utilizing the narrative inquiry method of research and explored the real-life experiences as told by the participants in the workforce development program. Deep, rich experiences were uncovered in the non-traditional workers which allowed the researcher to shape a common story that related specifically to the experiences of the participants. The results were consistent with the goals of the study because participation in the program resulted in significant positive experiences for the participants as was learned through their own unique, lived experiences. Lastly, the results provided meaningful concepts of adult and transformational learning linked to non-traditional workers, highlighting the implications of adult and work-related learning. This study provided promising results to provide further insight for practitioners, organizations, executive leadership and most importantly, non-traditional workers.
