ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ Education US

ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ Education's vision is to design and deliver the most career-relevant online programs with the world's leading universities. We lead with a bold and unwavering pursuit for success, not only for our students and partners but also for our employees and culture. 

Our employees, known as ºÚÁÏÊÓƵers, care deeply about the students they serve and are passionate about enabling them to change their lives through higher education. Their commitment shines through in every aspect of our company culture, including the awards we honor throughout the year.

Each year, our global leadership team nominates a ºÚÁÏÊÓƵer in each office for The Presidential Award. This award is highly regarded within our company culture and awarded to an exemplary individual who embodies our core company values – Be Committed, Be Inventive, Be Collaborative, and Be A Lifelong Learner. The Presidential Award captures these characteristics that drive our company's success to ensure ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ remains a global leader within the Online Program Management ("OPM") space.

In honor of the 2020 Presidential Awards, ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ would like to spotlight those exemplary individuals. The leadership team does not only value these individuals, but they are viewed as supportive, collaborative, and, most of all, team players.
