Our take
Remote and hybrid working have undoubtedly become more common practices among many businesses globally. Nexford University is an online only end-to-end education to employment platform offering several U.S. accredited degrees and certificates, and preparing and connecting learners across the world with both local and remote jobs. After years of Universities sticking to traditional ways, edtechs like Nexford are pioneering a paradigm shift in higher education that puts learners first.
Recent funding means Nexford can plan to add more programs, such as software engineering, data science, clean energy, business analytics, digital marketing and project management to its roster. Nexford University is also looking at complementary programs to add to its offering to support students stepping into the careers in their chosen field. Still young, the University has made impressive headway with an innovative approach to education, staying fluid with the evolving work world this could mean some very exciting things for Nexford University and its graduates.
