Modernizing How Companies Develop Talent
Employers that invest in workforce education can gain a competitive edge, but developing these initiatives in-house is costly and resource-intensive. Through our Enterprise Learning Solutions (ELS), Wiley Education Services offers efficient ways for organizations to strengthen employee skills through a variety of learning opportunities ranging from our specially-developed training products to industry-aligned degree programs offered by our education partners.
The ELS team collaborates with corporate partners to configure products and services that align with their talent needs and business goals. Our custom and turnkey solutions help companies close their skills gaps, build dynamic workforces, and offer education benefits to attract, develop, and retain top talent.
For our higher education partners, the ELS team bolsters student enrollment by connecting universities with motivated learners employed by corporate partners. These solutions enable educators and employers to drive toward superior outcomes together.
