Keybridge Global Education, a revolutionary higher education platform focused on bridging the gap between education and employability outcomes, has partnered with US-based Maryville University to co-develop learning content to prepare learners to become job-ready. Maryville aims to provide curated learning content as part of the Keybridge career-building framework to help professionals grow and remain industry relevant on an ongoing basis, as per an official statement.
The partnership aims to extend opportunities for early and mid-career professionals who need more confidence about their professional growth or career trajectory. Without different options and guidance, they settle for existing course templates and mass-market badges that may or may not work for them in the context of their career advancement. Maryville and Keybridge will co-develop learning content to upskill learners in areas such as leadership, project management, digital marketing, business acumen and professional skills, to name a few. These will be complemented by Keybridge’s proprietary tools designed for developing employability skills and aiding in career planning and management.
These programs to advance or boost career goals are hosted on a learner-centric learning management system where participants can access content, tools and resources anywhere.
Speaking on the collaboration, Co-founder & CEO of Keybridge Global Education, Amol Dani, said:
Maryville University and its workforce development arm, MaryvilleWORKS, is focused on helping businesses in the greater St Louis, Missouri region of the US. They have a proven approach to designing learning content and developing evaluative criteria to demonstrate success in corporate environments. This is aligned with what Keybridge brings to the table and complements our strengths in career planning, management and career skills development.
Keybridge believes that educational programs must have a purposeful link to employability and career needs. It aims to address this through an exclusive digital-first, the online institution of higher education and skills development. The platform’s vision is to empower learners with life-changing educational experiences and to inspire them never to stop learning.
Dr Scott Chadwick, chief of corporate partnership acquisitions for Maryville University, commented:
At Maryville, we don’t focus on the one-size-fits-all education model, be it for individuals or businesses thinking of upskilling or reskilling their workforce. Because Keybridge and Maryville share a common goal of empowering working professionals and supporting businesses that must meet the evolving demands of their industries, we are sure our partnership will improve their workforce development and help them grow and thrive.
With the parent company headquartered in the US, India is Keybridge Global Education’s launch market to offer learner-centric skill development programs.
