Abstract	The relevance of adult education is rising due to high requirements on the labour market, accelerated technologies, the rising importance of knowledge, etc. Educational corporations play a decisive role by being responsible for the vocational and continuing education of the personnel of several organisations, especially small and medium-sized businesses (SMB). Their main task is to provide learning services. To perform this task very well they need adequately qualified staff - the adult educators. Their profile is not imprecisely differentiated but omnipotent. Universities are able to promote the achievement of high qualification requirements, support through scientific approaches and inspire by the use of methods. The paper summarises the results and recommendations of an analysis based on a survey of the strategic situation of educational corporations and their staff in Saxony-Anhalt (Germany) and a discussion about various theories of professionality in adult education.
