Pearson Workforce Education Courses Using New Online Enrollment

Pearson is switching to web-based enrollment management for its workforce education courses, a change expected to impact more than 200 colleges and universities and nearly four million learners.

The company is partnering with Augusoft Lumens, a cloud-based enrollment management system specific to continuing education. Prospective students of Pearson Workforce Education (PWE) courses can now enroll online at both two- and four-year institutions starting this month.

Pearson offers more than 70 workforce courses, both self-paced and instructor-led online courses.
