FOR STUDENTS

Our work-based learning model delivers jobs and economic mobility for students while supporting employer business objectives.

After years of building the E@W network, expanding to locations, and building relationships with business partners, we are proud that evidence shows our work-based learning (WBL) model is working.

Education at Work’s mission is to help students gain the work experience, and the durable and technical skills required to achieve economic mobility.

Education at Work helps American businesses tap the talents of hard-working and tech-savvy students to fill in-demand roles in project management, analytics, customer service and beyond. Our corporate partners are strengthening their employer brand, while developing a pipeline of diverse early career professionals to fill critical talent needs.

VALUES

E@W contact centers are designed to cultivate a positive and empowering atmosphere. Every employee, both student and professional, understands the important role they play in reaching the E@W vision, and are bold representatives of the E@W mission in action. Therefore, every member of the organization identifies with these BOLD values:

BRING IT

I care – every person, every situation, every time. I let my character shine through by being patient, showing empathy, and committing to problem-solving. I showcase respect and concern for team members and customers and allow my passion to infect those around me.

OWN IT

I help bring our vision to life. I am proud of the daily impact I make on the organization. I understand personal ownership and perseverance impacts the greater picture. I honor my promises by doing what I say I am going to do and taking charge of my actions.

LIVE IT

I help create a chain reaction of success; learning through doing, celebrating achievements and continually improving. My experiences build relevant skills for my future, shaping me personally and professionally.

DREAM IT

I will use the transformative power of education to realize my dreams. Through preparation and determination, I am ready for my future.
