ASU, The Rise Fund Partner on Learning Service for Employers
Arizona State University is joining forces with The Rise Fund to launch InStride, a new partnership program with employers to provide opportunities for employees to obtain a university education.
Arizona State University and The Rise Fund are partnering to allow
employers to sponsor employees to earn university degrees. InStride,
a new learning services enterprise designed to partner with
employers, will help employees obtain a university education. ASU is
the first university to partner with The Rise Fund in this effort.
“Many
forward-thinking employers are already leading the way in the
movement to provide learning opportunities for employees that result
in life-altering benefits,” said ASU president Michael Crow. We
have created InStride to accelerate that movement and partner with
more employers who seek to provide flexible learning options for
employees no matter what stage of their career they are in.”
ASU offers more than
175 bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees and certificate programs
through ASU Online. InStride will work with employers to build
education partnerships with ASU and other universities that meet the
needs of their employees.
