InStride

ICYMI: We're celebrating our fifth anniversary! 🎉 In just five years, we've made significant strides to get 485,000 employees access to debt-free education. That number’s only going up! In this time, we've spoken with leaders from hundreds of companies across a number of industries. We noticed a common theme: there’s a huge gap between the workforce that these companies currently have and the workforce they need. Many are trying to bridge this gap with traditional benefits packages and tuition reimbursement for education programs. But this isn’t enough. There's a more sustainable way forward, and it starts by empowering employees through education programs tailored to their company's goals. That's where InStride comes in. ▶️ Watch our latest video to learn more about how we're shaping the future of workforce education and development! #InStride #WorkforceEducation #EmployeeDevelopment #EdTech #TalentManagement
