Scale for Students with Guild Education

Education as a benefit is an effective way to attract talent. Unfortunately, many employer education benefits are unintentionally discriminatory in their design by assuming employees have the means to cover costs and wait to be reimbursed. Moreso, we are finding that employees that are already educated have more access to education, and a large chunk of the American workforce is left out of this equation. As learning leaders, we have an obligation to our learners to provide the necessary tools to complete their job, but also to provide opportunities for learners to excel beyond their role and place in the workforce. In this Learning Tech Talks, I’m chatting with familiar face Matthew Daniel over at Guild Education about creating economic and talent mobility in communities by providing higher education to front-line workers.
