Collaboration launches career-aligned programs for working professionals.


Bisk Amplified, a leading online education platform, and Nexford University, a next-generation online university based in Washington, D.C., have partnered to offer a range of undergraduate and graduate degree and certificate programs. Together, they introduce career-centric programs tailored to high-demand fields, including AI, business analytics, cybersecurity, e-commerce, and supply chain management, designed with workplace skill needs in mind.


Nexford’s unique approach, merging real-world skills acquisition and project-based learning, aligned with critical workplace competencies, combined with Bisk Amplified’s robust student support and employer-focused benefits, creates a powerful solution for working professionals and organizations. Learners can access a wide array of in-demand programs while receiving unparalleled support to advance their careers. Employers can invest in their employees’ growth and build a more skilled, competitive workforce.


“Collaborating with Nexford University is a game-changer for workforce development,” said Bisk Amplified’s Senior Vice President of Workforce and Education Dr. Jennifer King. “Together, we’re offering a powerful path to career advancement by empowering organizations to build a future-ready workforce while providing individuals with the flexibility and support needed to succeed.”


Nexford’s online programs offer unparalleled flexibility for learners. With no rigid class schedules, monthly course starts, and a monthly tuition model, students can seamlessly integrate their education into busy lives. Nexford’s learner-centric programs empower professionals through skills mastery and practical projects, showcasing their capabilities in real-world scenarios directly related to the work they do today and will do in the future.


“In today’s rapidly evolving job market, access to education that caters directly to both the current and future needs of the workplace is crucial,” said Nexford Founder Fadl Al Tarzi. “Through our partnership with Bisk, we’re excited to offer working professionals programs that not only fit their schedules but are wholly designed to bridge the gap between the high-demand skills employers are desperately seeking and the career growth aspirations of employees. This collaboration is about more than furthering education; it’s about enabling career mobility and ensuring that learning is immediately applicable and delivering impact.”


Courses will launch in Fall 2024. For further program details and learn more, connect with Bisk Amplified at https://calendly.com/workforce-education.
